I think it would violate the GNU Coding Standards, that specify that
“The default value of prefix should be /usr/local”:

    http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Directory-Variables

I would most certainly expect “make install” not to install anything
outside of “/usr/local” unless I've explicitly told its configure
script to.
