Bug #: 13116
Summary: glibc uses global /var, not prefix/var for install
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: libc
AssignedTo: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
ReportedBy: andi-bz@firstfloor.org
Classification: Unclassified
Current git version: commit c27714f111289f078c9787649f768b3e749f71
Date: Wed Aug 17 21:51:21 2011 -0400
Does not install to a custom prefix as non root because it tries to access
/var.
IMHO with a --prefix it should use prefix/var ..., not /var
