Either make it fixed in config.h, or don't let it be overridden.
Having it force a recompile/relink is not acceptable, since it breaks
the case of override-prefix-for-install-only, and this appears to be
what Kelley's patch does.
I'd leave it alone, just so that we comply with this tiny little bit
of the GNU Coding Standards, even though it causes the minor
inconvenience mentioned that motivated Kelley to write this patch. If
we all decide to not follow that bit in the coding standards, move it
to config.h instead. I don't have strong opinions either way.
