No; the current behavior is correct. GNU tools always come configured
to install in /usr/local by default. That's a requirement of the GNU
standards.
It's equally likely that the installer _doesn't_ want to overwrite the
system default "make" as it is that she does. There is no way that the
installation can or should guess.
See the INSTALL file that comes with GNU make for help with this.
