And last time I wrote My Very Own (tm) spec file for binutils, I had to do
the %install step like this:

make prefix=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_prefix} \
     tooldir=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_prefix} \
     infodir=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_infodir} \
     mandir=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_mandir} \
     install install-info

Personally, I prefer "make DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT install" anytime.

(I think binutils might understand DESTDIR now.)
