GNUstep already install s "flattened" by default. Disable the terrible 
FHS layout (--with-layout=gnustep something which should have remained 
our default) and you essentially have a quite traditional layout. You 
may want then to do --prefix=/ and that is my standard configuration. 
Everything goes into /System and /Local (and/or /Network) except the 
/etc/GNUstep configuration which you can leave there or separately 
configure. prefix just adds a /usr/GNUstep  which can be useful to put 
into /usr/local or /opt
