The Makefile sets
LIBTOOL := bindir=$(bindir) $(SHELL) $(top_builddir)/libtool

Then:
Test for the existance of bindir in the libtool script, if it doesn't 
exist set it to ../bin if it does exist the Makefile has passed it to 
libtool via an environment variable.

This works for `make install bindir=/alternatelocation".
