This is a security feature of your sudo configuration...

sudo(8)
...
ENVIRONMENT
...
        PATH    Set to a sane value if sudo was configured with
                the --with-secure-path option

Look at:
env |grep ^PATH
vs.
sudo env |grep ^PATH
and watch the GNUstep paths disappear.

Personally my inclination would be that we should try to avoid to run
any GNUstep tools during "make install" and have everything needed run
during make.  But I'm not deep enough into -make to understand all the
implications to know if that's practical or not.  For now I really
switch to root (which sets up by environment by sourcing GNUstep.sh) and
invoke "make install".

Cheers,
