GNU make never tries to write anything anywhere. It doesn't even use any temporary files. If things are being written to /usr/local/<something> when you run make, then the makefiles you're using must be doing it. This is not something that is a problem with GNU make, just as a bug in some source code is not the fault of the compiler. I suggest you read the documentation that comes with the software you're trying to build to see how to convince it to write its files somewhere other than /usr/local.
