What do the output of these two command look like? After the first command build Git with the custom prefix and CFLAGS, the second command is supposed to start with printing "* new build flags" and then to build Git again with the default prefix and CFLAGS.

Just a couple hundred lines worth of build output :)

Try using the same build flags for the install, i.e.:

  make prefix=/usr/local DEVELOPER=1 CFLAGS="-O0 -g" install
