Introduction to Xorg-7: XORG_PREFIX & XORG_CONFIG Weird Issue

Hi,

When following instructions to choose the installation prefix that in my case i decided to with /usr, I was never able to pass the value of  $XORG_PREFIX to $XORG_CONFIG

I followed the instructions, double checked that echo $XORG_PREFIX will print /usr with a no-root and a root user which was successful in both cases, but when copypasting (with the root user):

export XORG_CONFIG="--prefix=$XORG_PREFIX --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --localstatedir=/var --disable-static"

If i echo  $XORG_CONFIG  with the root user or a no-root user the output will always be an empty value for the --prefix:

echo $XORG_CONFIG="--prefix= --sysconfdir=/etc  --localstatedir=/var --disable-static"

So creating the /etc/profile.d/xorg.sh was not possible neither because the file will always be created with a blank value for XORG_CONFIG, I'm not using zsh as my terminal and i also try removing the backslash in front of the dollar sign which was unsuccessful too, so I decided to hard code the value /usr to the XORG_CONFIG in /etc/profile.d/xorg.sh

Will there be any particular reason for this weird behavior? is it bad that I hard coded the prefix value to /usr ?
