You are aware that this is not the standard incantation, right? It
should rather be
cd build/freetype-* \
&& ./configure --prefix=$(PREFIX) \
&& $(MAKE) \
&& $(MAKE) install
and we are documenting this. BTW, it is good practice to build a
program as non-root, then doing the installation with `sudo' or
something similar. If this doesn't matter to you, you might say
$(MAKE) all install
instead.

My gut feeling says that this is not a good idea.
