Multiple installs are a waste of disk space, they are only useful
when you need to run multiple versions of Postfix concurrently on
the same machine. You MUST compile different default values for the
config_directory into each separately installed version of Postfix.

CCARGS='-DDEF_CONFIG_DIR="/some/version/specific/path" ...'

You really don't want to do this...
