This is *exactly* why you shouldn't be. You need to make it install into the
"buildroot" (a confusing name -- it's where the _package_ is assembled from
generated files, not where the code is built). Many modern makefiles support
this easily -- use the macro "%makeinstall" in the spec file where you would
use 'make install'. However, a lot don't, and require a bit of patching.
