But if you specified a prefix, installdir should not be /usr/local!
That is precisely what I need you to track down -- how/why is this
happening.

What references to /usr/local exist in your gcc Makefiles?  Are you
absolutely sure you use --prefix=<something>?  Could you have typo'd
the argument?  You can look at config.status in the gcc subdir to
find out exactly how your configured the compiler.
