I found the problem.  The make.conf(5) manpage and an example
make.conf file suggest INSTALL="install -C" setting, which
breaks the non-root build feature.  This is caused by the fact
that global make(1) variables (those in /etc/make.conf also)
have preference over environment variables (that's how we set
INSTALL in BMAKEENV).

I will commit a fix as soon as I test it.
