So, I am just guessing here, but maybe you need to use the prefix=... also in
here?  Since you are directly invoking make install, I would expect the
#:make-flags to not be in effect here.  The 'install phase in gnu-build-system
you are replacing looks like this:

    (define* (install #:key (make-flags '()) #:allow-other-keys)
      (apply invoke "make" "install" make-flags))
