Here you'd need to remove the 'install' dependency as it would first
do it and then overwriting the results with dependency..

another option is to use other variable like 

__INSTALL = $(INSTALL) -D -m644

and then replace other uses of INSTALL with __INSTALL

(this doesn't look too good but that was what I could come
quickly)
