[issue18320] python installation is broken if prefix is overridden on an install target

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily added the comment:

Allowing prefix to be overridden after configure-time is certainly not the most critical shortcoming of the Python build system and it is possible someone is relying on that behavior.  Since no one, including me, seems very interested at this point in trying to change it, let's close this issue.
