I think the normal install location for hardware independent stuff (eg the 
makefiles/scripts)  is /usr/local/share/GNUstep/Makefiles ... so if you 
specified --prefix=/usr/GNUstep that path would be correct.

I expect your executables should be in /usr/GNUstep/share/bin libraries in 
/usr/GNUstep/lib and your headers in /usr/GNUstep/include

In another email you said :

That looks like the libraries and headers simply aren't installed (or are 
installed elsewhere).


If I do ...

cd make
./configure --prefix=/tmp/GNUstep
make install
. /tmp/GNUstep/share/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
cd ../base
./configure
make install

then look in /tmp/GNUstep, I see the lib and include subdirectories with the 
base library stuff in them.


You could try looking at the config.log files for make and base to see if you 
can spot anything.
If base builds and installs correctly then usually everything else is fine 
because that means that make was built/installed correctly.
