I'll test it again with --prefix=/usr, but IMHO, the INSTALL file
should clarify this point. I assumed that --prefix=/usr was
recommended for the case where the GNU C Library would be installed
as a replacement, not just for testing a new glibc. Moreover,
I would have thought that --prefix would not have any influence
for "make check" (as --prefix is related to the installation,
while "make check" occurs before installation).
