In previous releases, I would do

  $ ./configure --prefix=/foo/bar
  $ make
  $ make install

With 5.6.5, I got errors at `make install' about not being able to
create `/stage/...' directories.  It seems $(prefix) evaluates to
the null string.

My workaround was to do this first:

  $ export prefix=/foo/bar
