Thanks for reporting this!

The correct way to do this is to pass '-C' to the install command.
However, I found no way of telling automake to always do this, and I
have no idea why AC_PROG_INSTALL does not do it by default.

So currently you would need to use
$ configure INSTALL="install -C" ...
or
$ make install INSTALL="install -C"

Is that acceptable, or should we seek a better solution?
