--- Comment #5 from Martin Sebor <msebor at redhat dot com> ---
Fixed by having make install fail early and with a descriptive error message by
commit a82a3db95077c8343b988a6f1b03adea3d40f6d4:

    Attempting to install glibc configured with --prefix=/usr into
    a non-standard directory specified by the prefix make variable
    fails with an error.  Since this is an unsupported use case,
    this change makes make install fail early and with a descriptive
    error message when either the prefix or the exec_prefix make
    variable is overridden on the command line.
