<prefix>/lib is the default.

<prefix>/lib/gcc-lib/<machine>/<version> is where libraries are placed if you
used --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs when configuring the compiler.
See <URL: http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html > for more.

The solution is simple:  make certain you are passing consistent flags to
configure from one build to the next.  (I use a three-line shell script
for this, so I don't have to remember them all.)
