Bugs notwithstanding, you should be able to prevent that mostly by doing a DESTDIR install as user, and copying over and libtool --mode=finish as root.

Rate of bugs and rate of security holes are mostly uncorrelated Posted Mar 8, 2006 0:49 UTC (Wed) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] Indeed, although I'm not sure what effect this has on things that want to install with unusual userids (and there are some).
Rate of bugs and rate of security holes are mostly uncorrelated Posted Mar 9, 2006 10:25 UTC (Thu) by rwild (guest, #16004) [Link] Yes (therefore the "mostly"). I usually "make install -k DESTDIR=.." then and fix the setuid manually. Not so great. Better to get fast-install mode fixed in Libtool on more systems (which avoids the relinking in the first place).
