Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 5
Release Status: release

Description:
When compiling bash and running "./configure", the directory specified by
"--prefix=FOO" is ignored when "--disable-nls" is given at the same time.
$prefix then defaults to "/usr/local".  It doesn't seem to matter what
order these two flags are given on the command line.  "make install"
subsequently tries to install to the wrong directory, and fails if run
as non-root.  bash-3.1p017 also does the same, if that helps any.

Repeat-By:
./configure --disable-nls --prefix=/home/foo
make
make install # watch files try to go to /usr/local
