Summary: Some install scripts ignore ENV VARS

Initial Comment:
I am trying to make a python 2.1.1 RPM for my linux 
distro.  I am running into a problem during the python 
install.  It seems that pydoc is trying to get 
installed into my systems /usr/bin (good thing I build 
rpms as a unprivledged user).  From what I can tell, 
whatever installs pydoc seems to ignore $BINDIR and 
$prefix as I set them in my "make install" command.

copying build/lib.linux-i686-2.1/zlib.so ->
 /home/miah/rpm_build/tmp/python-
root/usr/lib/python2.1/lib-dynload
copying build/lib.linux-i686-2.1/linuxaudiodev.so ->
 /home/miah/rpm_build/tmp/python-
root/usr/lib/python2.1/lib-dynload
running install_scripts
copying build/scripts/pydoc -> /usr/bin
error: /usr/bin/pydoc: Permission denied
make: *** [sharedinstall] Error 1
error: Bad exit status 
from /home/miah/rpm_build/tmp/rpm-tmp.23763
(%install)

My install command is

make prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr \
        BINDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/bin \
        install
