It _was_ in postgis-2.0, should change when REGRESS=1 is defined.
See line 107 of postgis/Makefile.in and similar in raster and topology.

It always worked with overriding targets on REGRESS=1
I only added the override of MODULEDIR variable.

Let me know if it's still broken after ./configure.

To be honest, I'd actually love --prefix to work, see
