The same goes for me

This, I can't reproduce. Also, I am not sure what you did. The README
says you have to do 

-----
./configure --prefix=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT \
 --libdir=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Libraries/ix86/mingw32 \
 --includedir=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Headers

  make
  make install
-----

and if I do that, I don't get your error. Just doing "make install",
without configure and make first, doesn work at all ("No rule to make
target `install'.") and ./configure followed by "make install" leaves
me with a different error than yours. Which scenario did you follow?

This is probably a good idea anyway.
