Perhaps, it looks cleaner, but with the latest patch I sent 40 min. ago
it works using the normal prefix=... way.

BTW, I'm always configuring my stuff with the final prefix dir like this:

configure --prefix=/tools/gnu

and later on install it with re-defining

make prefix=/tools/gnu/package/egcs/980122 install

This works now, adding the install_root macro would cause lots of
editing I guess ;-)
