If you build an executable then it won't be copied anyway. If you are building something that looks like a shared object then I'm a bit puzzled why you would not want to install it as that is the only way you can install it in multi-arch build (since you can't use inst in that case). That said, you can simply build your "executable" in a subdirectory which is I'd recommend for anything other than contents that you want R to deal with -- but, again, beware of multi-arch settings as it's get really tricky.
