Hello, Kseitz.
> I'm confused. Why can you not use --prefix and --exec-prefix?
DESTDIR is used to install the another (temporary) place.
It mainly used for build a binary package.
Some tools embed prefix information in its source code,
for example...GCC.
I'm not sure if the embedding is done in tcl/ code, but
it' possible the another package in sources.redhat.com
does.
So I hesitate using --prefix.

Please check diffs between GNU gettext 0.10.35 and 0.10.36.
And also binutils
