So ... don't do that.

I think that would be a pretty bad idea, because it would break things
for packagers who have their own ideas about what the directory
permissions ought to be.

You can, of course, enforce your own ideas on the make run with something
like (untested)

make MKDIR_P="mkdir -m 0755 -p" install
