Yes, line 284 in
/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/Instance/application.make
("$(ECHO_CREATING)pl2link $^
$(APP_DIR)/Resources/$(GNUSTEP_INSTANCE).desktop$(END_ECHO)"); with
that line commented "sudo make install works". One doesn't get a
.desktop file though.

I can do that, and many thanks for your kind offer, but maybe it isn't
needed since the problem has been narrowed to that file, and it is
better to test with a testcase.

Indeed I have, Test.app is at http://www.gesal.org/gnustep/Test.tar.gz
; I simply created a new project with PC, added a window with Gorm,
and saved. Not a single manual edition was made, and not a single line
of code.

There you have it then, but don't worry about it if you are time
pressed since it is a simple problem with a simple fix (or so I hope).
