I saw similar thing with libXt (pkgsrc-wip)
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6599

Can you please contact the http://clisp.cons.org/ developers to ask them 
to fix this?

(Without looking at code, it probably uses INSTALL which the configure 
script allowed to be defined.)

It is not a pkgsrc problem. I do agree that building packages without 
privileges is a good idea. (In my case, I often am doing unprivileged 
installs also, so I would never notice this problem because it would be 
like: /usr/bin/install -c -o me -g me -m 444 ....)
