for most scenario except tweaking the installation scripts that should not be
needed, as:

 ./instdir

already contains a fully runnable installation that is populated on the fly
during the build.
If you need to test an installation, doing

 make test-install

will run the install script and create a copy in

 ./test-install

(or whatever you put in TESTINSTALLDIR=).

Make install will use whatever you passed into the various destination switches of
./configure (or ./autogen.sh).

Best,
