The last patch is wrong, the others are good, though a warning about the
overriding of flags might be nice until this is ACCEPTED behaviour by the
user community.
The third patch is wrong because there are things other than -C that one
might want to override INSTALL with, for example an INSTALL that uses a
replacement program that static relinks an executable being installed
to a partition where its dynamic dependencies are not satisfied.
I've known people to do similar.
