Description
Describe the bug
We used to be able to do
make && sudo make install
and end up with the libraries and headers in /usr/local/...
That doesn't work today.
Reproduction steps
git clone git@github.com:vmware/splinterdb.git
cd splinterdb
export CC=clang
export LD=clang
make
sudo make install
The last line fails with
Checking for mismatched config...Mismatched config file "build/release/build-config.38e61cc510d530870a8c417ec6741a7f" detected. You need to "make clean".
make: *** [Makefile:259: mismatched_config_file_check] Error 123
Additional context
I can work around it by running
sudo --preserve-env=CC,LD make install
But I'd rather not have to remember to do that extra stuff.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure from a clean checkout using the listed CC and LD settings, then inspect Makefile:259 and the build/release configuration check involved in sudo make install. Done means the documented make followed by sudo make install succeeds without requiring --preserve-env or an intervening make clean.
