+Depending on the package, the default directory layout chosen during
+...@command{configure} can be altered during subsequent execution of
+...@command{make}.
A `make install FOO=VAL' should never alter anything in the build
directory. The problem is if you pass --bindir=/foo to configure, and
then do `make install prefix=/bar', the files installed in bindir will
be installed in /foo, and not /bar as the user might have exepcted;
this is why passing prefix to `make install' is a bad idea.
