Yeah.. :)

I noticed that
make PREFIX=/tmp/inst install
is broken.
e.g.:
$ (make allnoconfig ; make) > /dev/null
$ mkdir /tmp/inst ; rm -rf /tmp/inst/*
$ make PREFIX=/tmp/inst install
$ ls -l /tmp/inst
total 0
$

They're installed into the default CONFIG_PREFIX, though.
Didn't yet look how this is supposed to work (resp. used to work).
