Subject: --prefix


A common problem on the glibc mailing lists is that unexperienced
people try to install glibc without giving it a prefix - and glibc
ends in /usr/local.  This causes lots of troubles since now you have
two glibc and the dynamic linker is used from the old installation but
the shared libs from the new one.

I propose to change the prefix to something else than /usr/local/.
What do you think?  Or is there a problem with autoconf?
