Right, I can solve it doing
	$(MAKE)  prefix=`pwd`/debian/tmp/usr \
		ROOT="$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp"

as I later do 
	$(MAKE) install prefix=`pwd`/debian/tmp/usr \
		ROOT="$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp"

And then the whole gambas stuff is compiled without problems in
`pwd`/debian/tmp/ to make the package. But my doubt is: Once the package
is isntalled, and gbc2 is placed at /usr/bin... will it work?
If not, it doesn't make much sense...

Not, except removing the need of *FILE_find_gambas in gb_file_temp.h
during compilation ;-D
