368: Karim specifies --prefix=/usr, but Bill specifies --prefix=$PREFIX.
This means Bill's shared libraries have the wrong path hardcoded
in them; you can tell using 'strings'.  e.g.
  $ strings powerpc-linux/lib/ld-2.2.4.so | grep home
  /home3/dank/h/powerpc-linux/lib/
  /home3/dank/h/powerpc-linux/etc/ld.so.cache


See also http://www.ltc.com/~brad/mips/mips-cross-toolchain/building.html
which says that --prefix=/usr is a Special Case on linux.
Karim says "by setting --prefix to /usr, the
configuration script recognizes this setup and the relevant directory
paths are properly hardcoded..."
