ROOT is not defined anymore in the Makefile.am files. DESTDIR is used instead.

Actually I did the following:

$ ./configure -C --prefix=/usr
...
$ make
...
$ mkdir ~/tmp-gambas
$ mkdir ~/tmp-gambas/usr
$ make prefix=~/tmp-gambas/usr install
...

I didn't use DESTDIR, and everything ran without any error.

Try that, and if it does not work anyway, maybe there is a problem in the 
packag creation process.
