Aha yes. Well spotted.

It's caused by -Dsiteprefix being passed through to Configure. That needs to
be filtered out. The existing code in Configure.pl also wasn't filtering
-Dprefix=... (my bug).

Change 335 in subversion should fix all of this, by removing -Dprefix,
-Dsiteprefix, -Dvendorprefix, which should solve your problem. I think you'll
need to start for a clean build. Or at least, remove config.sh and Policy.sh
from the perl subdirectory, and re-run Configure.pl at the top level, before
re-running make.
