Comment(by neteler):

 This is a know problem (same here). The problem that in this case the
 source and target
 install dir are the same. So a test would be needed to simply skip the
 installation
 then as not needed (note that g.extension was written for a properly
 installed GRASS).

 I tried to fix it but cannot obtain the related variables from the
 Makefile job to
 obtain the path names (essentially from Platform.make).
