Yes 'make install' is broken, but not because it compiles stuff. It
is broken because it unconditionally compiles stuff. The 'install'
target _should_ compile things, but only things that, as yet, have not
been compiled. In other words, you should be able to:
make distclean
./configure
make install
But if everything has already been built from a previous 'make', then
'make install' should just install and nothing else.
