Works fine for me on OSX.  Here's my build script:

get.git:

    cd ~/MIRROR/git-GIT && git fetch && git diff --stat live origin/master

make.git:

    cd ~/MIRROR/git-GIT &&
    git reset --hard origin/master &&
    make prefix=/opt/git all install quick-install-man &&
    git tag -f live HEAD

And everything (including the Perl bits) ends up under /opt/git.

I don't even run configure.  Not sure why I would. :)
