Description

On master, "configure --prefix=/some/path" appears to be broken for at least libcfs.ko. I wanted to "make install" into a subdirectory in my home directory, and it failed at this point:

test -z "/bghome/morrone/local/lib" || /bin/mkdir -p "/bghome/morrone/local/lib"
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644  libcfsutil.a '/bghome/morrone/local/lib'
 ( cd '/bghome/morrone/local/lib' && ranlib libcfsutil.a )
test -z "" || /bin/mkdir -p ""
test -z "/lib/modules/2.6.32-71.el6.ppc64/updates/kernel/net/lustre" || /bin/mkdir -p "/lib/modules/2.6.32-71.el6.ppc64/updates/kernel/net/lustre"
 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 libcfs.ko '/lib/modules/2.6.32-71.el6.ppc64/updates/kernel/net/lustre'
/usr/bin/install: cannot remove `/lib/modules/2.6.32-71.el6.ppc64/updates/kernel/net/lustre/libcfs.ko': Permission denied

Notice it tried to install libcfs.ko into /lib instead of /bghome/morrone/local/lib. (I had specified --prefix=/bghome/morrone/local).
