On Ubuntu I recently solved this problem by editing the /etc/sudoers file and 
commenting out the 'Defaults secure_path=XXX' line. This way, 'sudo -E' 
inherits the PATH variable as customized by GNUstep.sh and gnustep-config can 
be found (by the libobjc2 GNUmakefile). 
If secure_path is enabled, the PATH variable is overriden by the secure_path 
value even when -E is passed to sudo.

Cheers,
Quentin.
