Yes it does. Currently, only --prefix=/usr works without any problems.
For anything else, one of various hacks can be used for bug-atexit3:

* Preload libstdc++ and libgcc_s
* Link libstdc++ and libgcc_s into the build directory
* Generate an ld.so.cache that caches the location of libstdc++ and
  libgcc_s and place it in /some/private/dir/etc/

There's nothing you can do about the abi-check failure, other than
possibly change _nl_default_dirname to being independent of the prefix.
That however, will be a *real* ABI breakage ;)

FWIW, I had documented the ABI breakage in the wiki:
