When I run make install on something and haven't specified a prefix on configure, I expect /usr/local to be used. If I wanted /, I'd have specified that on configure time. If it installed in / by default, it would, often, hit the "sacred package-system managed area" of the VFS tree annoying people like me to a very great extend, so please don't.
