I tracked it down to a bug in auto* (probably automake), due to
AC_INIT(subdirs) in kdesdk
instead of AC_INIT(acinclude.m4) in kdebase, which results in
(for some reason) INSTALL being wrongly set (in fact ac_given_install is
set too late).

I guess AC_INIT(subdirs) is there to call configure in subdirectories,
right ?
So I don't see how to fix this...
