[Bug build/18512] New: make install failure with overridden prefix


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18512

            Bug ID: 18512
           Summary: make install failure with overridden prefix
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.21
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: build
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: msebor at redhat dot com
                CC: carlos at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

Attempting to install glibc configured with --prefix=/usr into a non-standard
directory specified by the prefix make variable fails with the error below:

$ /src/glibc-trunk/configure --prefix=/usr
...
$ nice make install prefix=/build/glibc-trunk-install-prefix-override-usr
make[3]: Leaving directory `/src/glibc-trunk/elf'
/usr/bin/install -c /build/glibc-trunk/elf/ld.so /lib64/ld-2.21.90.so.new
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file '/lib64/ld-2.21.90.so.new':
Permission denied
make[2]: *** [/lib64/ld-2.21.90.so] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/src/glibc-trunk/elf'
make[1]: *** [elf/ldso_install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/src/glibc-trunk'
make: *** [install] Error 2

However, with glibc configured with a different prefix the same installation
succeeds.

(Setting the DESTDIR variable works as one would expect.)
