Actually, Michael is right.  Setting prefix via the make command is
*not* correct procedure.  It should be set via ./configure.

Sometimes prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_prefix} is used as part of the
"make install" command, but that's only required if the Makefiles
don't correctly support DESTDIR.  And in that case, you definitely
*don't* want the expanded value being stored or substituted anywhere.
