Yes, because on Unix you generally do not need it, you just recompile
it.

You'd not only need --enable-relocatable-install, but probably also
--enable-standalone-programs, to get statical linking, because else you
may end up with problems of library versions.

Just use
make install INSTALL_ROOT=/some/where
to get brltty installed in a directory which you can then targz.
