Gotta love those GNU tools..
In addition to any other patching you're doing to the top-level
configure script, look for the following 4 lines somewhere at
the bottom of the script:
case "$ac_given_INSTALL" in
[/$]*) INSTALL="$ac_given_INSTALL" ;;
*) INSTALL="$ac_dots$ac_given_INSTALL" ;;
esac
and nuke 'em -- after that, you'll be fine.
See x11-fm/gnomemc/files/patch-aa for one of the many examples of
this in the tree.
