If it doesn't want to look at ${prefix}, it should do that *completely*.

I'm not talking about the flags, but about the path variables,
as described by the gcc documentation (see LIBRARY_PATH, CPATH,
C_INCLUDE_PATH, CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH, OBJC_INCLUDE_PATH).

The configure script should probably remove ${prefix}-based paths
from these variables.
