xman appears to have been horribly miscompiled; 'strace xman' includes
many lines of the form

open("${prefix}/share/man/man1", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY) = -1

and only works at all if I do (the truly hideous command)

ln -s "/usr" "\${prefix}"

My shell is /bin/bash, if that's relevant and the problem is to do with
shell variable expansion.
