--- Comment #3 from Martin Sebor <msebor at redhat dot com> ---
In section 7.2.5 Variables for Installation Directories, the GNU Coding
Standard describes the prefix fix variable as the mechanism expected to be used
to override the standard installation directory. If GLIBC doesn't supported
this use case (which I would find understandable), I propose mentioning it in
GLIBC documentation (i.e., in the INSTALL file and online). In fact, I already
have a patch for INSTALL to that effect but have been waiting for feedback on
this issue before submitting it. With the patch accepted I think the issue can
be resolved.
