Yes, although the other works ok.
Are there any less obvious (than the ldconfig thing) reasons why
--exec-prefix=/ is a bad idea? (Putting aside convention fot a moment)
Well, it's a bad idea if //lib and so forth were not the names you wanted
to consider canonical, and in practice noone ever wants to consider such
names the "right" ones but really intends /lib and so forth. But I won't
presume to know what you really intend. prefix and exec-prefix are "the
string prepended to /lib", so say what you mean and you get what you ask for.
Its suprising how many packages won't build if you leave --exec-prefix=
blank.
