I am not running Ubuntu, but Debian. And I'm pretty sure this has to
do with some glibc interactions.

I think I can guess where this is failing... Could you try again with
this makefile:
----8<----
install:
       strace install -d /usr/local/include
--->8-----

The strace output will hopefully show which system call is failing.
