Why would then work the other commands in the install target?

        umask 022; ${MKDIR_P} "$(DESTDIR)${bindir}"
        for file in ${INSTALLABLES} ; do \
          $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) $(INSTALL_STRIP) $${file}
"$(DESTDIR)${bindir}"/`echo $${file} | sed -e 's/${EXEEXT}$$//' -e
'$(TRANSFORM)'`${EXEEXT} ; \
        done
