I'm using parenthesis, because they are not expanded before put into
the Makefile. So they refer to the Makefile variable prefix and a
later
make prefix=/foo
changes all depending variables.
However, as usual I forgot to *quote* the strings. This is the correct
version:
./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--datadir='$(prefix)/share' \
--mandir='$(prefix)/share/man' \
--without-libiconv-prefix \
--without-libintl-prefix
