I don't get it. Why can you not compile it with the normal prefix and
install it with your new prefix, like this:
make all
make install prefix="$RPM_BUILD_ROOT"
That way the bineries are compiled with the prefix given by configure,
and the programs are installed with prefix=$DESTDIR when copied into
place.
This way no changes need to be done to the makefiles. If this is the
case, please send an updated RPM-spec and I'll put it in the
distribution.
