+Depending on the package, the default directory layout chosen during
+...@command{configure} can be altered during subsequent execution of
+...@command{make}. A `make install FOO=VAL' should never alter anything in the build directory. The problem is if you pass --bindir=/foo to configure, and then do `make install prefix=/bar', the files installed in bindir will be installed in /foo, and not /bar as the user might have exepcted; this is why passing prefix to `make install' is a bad idea.
