make install is supposed to have access to source tree.  If you want
installation that can be copied then use DESTDIR parameter, so that
make install will instal things in a temporary tree.  Then copy
this tree to the target machine.  Or a bit differently: create a
tarball of resulting directory tree and use tar to unpack it on
target machine.

That would be unusual.

Now I understand: I see vertical line.  I thought it is the line
you want, but now see that it is just one of axis (the second
one is not drawn).

I will look at it.

Do you use the mkdist script?  That way you can bootstrap using fastest
Lisp on different machine.  For relase binaries should correspond
to sources, otherwise there is too much confusion.
