Bug ID: 33510
Summary: lib/getconf installs to wrong prefix
Product: glibc
Version: 2.42
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: build
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: nuc1eon at neonsys dot org

Target Milestone: ---
Hi, coming from GoboLinux we need a somewhat more "custom" install, so
therefore atm we are using DESTDIR=$target (where $target resolves to eg
/Programs/Glibc/2.42), and --prefix=/.
Setting --prefix=/ seems to work best so far in our case since --prefix=$target
installs 98% of stuff to $target/usr/{...} (with a few minor exeptions that for
some reasons are at the correct path).
So we are going with --prefix=/ atm, howerver there are astill three files
which are getting installed with a usr/ prefix for some reason, sepecifically
the getconf/lib folder:
└── usr
└── lib
└── getconf
├── POSIX_V6_LP64_OFF64
├── POSIX_V7_LP64_OFF64
└── XBS5_LP64_OFF64
These are the only files that are still being installed under the usr/ prefix,
despite --prefix=/.
Therefore I am assuming this is a bug in the makefile. If I'm wrong please let
me know.
