Be careful with that. Just because you've built everything with
--prefix=/usr/local, doesn't mean everything ended up there. In
particular, watch for stuff ending up in /etc and /var, as many packages
assume those locations are valid unless explicitly overridden with
--sysconfdir and --localstatedir...
