Shouldn't those be braces, not parentheses?
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.
OK. Some configures do try to evaluate them, though (against autoconf guidelines, I know, since it breaks the make prefix=... thing).
