No, it's not strange. What appears to have been overlooked is that
different people will execute these commands differently:

./configure --prefix=/opt/freeware --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-nls
make
make install DESTDIR=/home/taral/staging

Many people will run "make install" as root but the main compile as
non-root. You can't blindly mix all that together.
