According to INSTALL, keep your prefix as it should be on the final
system. And, to 
paste the INSTALL text, DESTDIR is your friend on your test system:

Installation
su yourself to root, if you want to do a live install, then run make
install or make 
install-strip to install Courier. If you use the GNU version of make,
and you would 
like to see which files Courier installs and where, don't su yourself to
root, but 
set the make variable named DESTDIR. For example:

make install DESTDIR=/var/tmp/courier-inst

The contents of DESTDIR are prepended to the name of every file
installed, so if --
prefix was set to /usr/lib/courier, the files will be installed in
/var/tmp/courier-
inst/usr/lib/courier. This only works if you use GNU make.
