New submission from John J Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
./configure --prefix=DIR && make && make install tries to install files
in directories outside of DIR. This happens both with trunk (r66412)
and 2.6b3. This is a problem for users of GNU stow, for example. I
know that certainly this worked fairly recently on the py3k branch, for
example, and I believe it also used to work on trunk.
I'm not certain whether in this particular run the --prefix directory
existed or not prior to make install, but I certainly get essentially
the same failure regardless of whether that directory exists.
