Well... somehow, it means that clisp would need two notions of install,
because setting INSTALL to something makes sense, but you don't expect it
to be run during the build stage.

Then it's probably libtool which has a problem and which would need a
`build-install' or something switch, that doesn't really perform the final
install, but the Right Thing in such a case.

No matter, the info you gave me   just means I know how to work-around that
specific problem for now (perform a make INSTALL=install to override that
setting).
