[Bug linuxthreads/623] New: Suggest libc/linuxthreads/man/Makefile to use MANDIR=$(prefix)/usr/man/man3

[bugzilla at bissell dot org]

It seems that the CVS head revision (as of this writing) of
libc/linuxthreads/man/Makefile uses the following to declare MANDIR:

MANDIR=/usr/man/man3

Whereas, most other makefiles in the glibc tar.gz allow the use of a 'prefix'
envar to affect the installation directory.

A suggestion is hereby made to amend the above line to read:

MANDIR=$(prefix)/usr/man/man3

So that the pthread_*, sem_*, and sigwait man pages get installed in the same
tree as the bulk of glibc, when the 'prefix' envar is used.

(Wasn't sure whether to choose 'linuxthreads' or 'manual' as the component for
this.  I chose the former, since you have an explicit 'manual' directory in your
source tree.)
