To change where to find the executables. However, dealing with certain cases
is, obviously nontrivial.

At Cygnus we do something like this:
--prefix=/usr/cygnus/latest-940103 --exec-prefix=/usr/cygnus/latest-940103/H-hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20
Note the subtle difference between
--prefix=/opt/gnu --exec-prefix=/opt/gnu-irix
You might be able to do something similar which would completely avoid these
problems.
