msp430 binutils-2.21.1 make install error

["roelof 't Hooft" <roelofh at itholland dot nl>]

Hi,

I am trying to build the latest binutils package for
which I downloaded the binutils-2.21.1a.tar.bz2 from
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/
For the msp430 version I applied the patch found in
mspgcc-20110716.tar.bz2 downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mspgcc/files/mspgcc/mspgcc-20110716.tar.bz2/download

I followed the information in the readme's.
- extracted the contents of mspgcc-20110716.tar.bz2
- extracted the contents of binutils-2.21.1a.tar.bz2
- applied the patch as described in
  msp430-binutils-2.21.1-20110716.patch
- created a build dir in my homedir with mkdir -p build/binutils
- changed directory to build dir
- executed /media/data/pcsoftware/mspgcc/binutils-2.21.1/configure
  --target=msp430 --prefix=/opt/msp430 2>&1 | tee co
- executed make 2>&1 | tee mo
- executed make install 2>&1 | tee moi


The make command alone finished with no error's but
make install gives me grief :

roelofh@castle:~/build/binutils$ make install 2>&1 | tee moi
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/roelofh/build/binutils'
/bin/bash /media/data/pcsoftware/mspgcc/binutils-2.21.1/mkinstalldirs /opt/msp430 /opt/msp430
mkdir -p -- /opt/msp430 /opt/msp430
mkdir: cannot create directory `/opt/msp430': Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory `/opt/msp430': Permission denied
make[1]: *** [installdirs] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/roelofh/build/binutils'
make: *** [install] Error 2


Of course I did not run the command above with su or sudo, but :

roelofh@castle:~/build/binutils$ sudo make install 2>&1 | tee moi
[sudo] password for roelofh: 
make: *** No rule to make target `configure', needed by `config.status'.
Stop.


or :

roelofh@castle:~/build/binutils$ su
Password: 
root@castle:/home/roelofh/build/binutils# make install 2>&1 | tee moi
make: *** No rule to make target `configure', needed by `config.status'.
Stop.


My computer runs Debian Linux :

roelofh@castle:~/build/binutils$ uname -a
Linux castle 2.6.38.8 #1 SMP Wed 3 Aug 2011 23:15:23 CEST i686 GNU/Linux


If anybody has suggestions about this, it seems that something
is missing but I can not figured it out and could not find a
clue while searching various forum archives or with the help
of my good friend Google.
