+1 for all of the above, and the particular fix you need is defining
the directories manually. Check the makefile, or as example of another
package that needed this check "tcc". Here you go:

# Maintainer: Nathan Owe. <ndowens04 at yahoo.com>
pkgname=hsftp
pkgver=1.15
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="An ftp emulator that looks as an ftp session, but uses ssh to
transport commands and data."
arch=(i686)
url="http://la-samhna.de/hsftp/"
license=("GPL")
depends=('glibc')
makedepends=('gcc')
source=(http://la-samhna.de/hsftp/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz)
md5sums=('933b25a898978650a2a18372b5208a00')

build() {
  cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make bindir=${pkgdir}/usr/bin mandir=${pkgdir}/usr/share/man \
     install || return 1
}
