./configure prefix option doesn't work.

[Jean-frederic Clere <jf...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

When I do:
./configure --prefix=$HOME/APR
prefix is still set to /usr/local/apr by config.layout, is it a feature?

Cheers

Yes, don't use autoconf 2.60.  It's broken and no one so far has told
us what we need to do fix it other than drop layout support.  --

I am seeing the same thing after running ./buildconf in APR 1.2.7 with
autoconf 2.60. It seems the APR_PARSE_ARGUMENTS macro doesn't work
correctly with the new version of autoconf. The workaround is to
modify/use config.layout, which is what I did for Gentoo.
