Does not install to a custom prefix as non root because it tries to access
/var.

IMHO with a --prefix it should use prefix/var ..., not /var

/usr/bin/install -c .../glibc/obj-master/nss/libnss_db.so
.../glibc/master/lib/libnss_db-2.14.90.so.new
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 db-Makefile /var/db/Makefile
/usr/bin/install: cannot remove `/var/db/Makefile': Permission denied
mv -f .../glibc/master/lib/libnss_db-2.14.90.so.new
.../glibc/master/lib/libnss_db-2.14.90.so
make[2]: *** [/var/db/Makefile] Error 1
