That strategy fails for alot of GNU autoconf'ed software.  Better do it
like:

  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
  make ...
  make prefix=/tmp/binutils-xcompile-root/usr/local install

Otherwise you might end up with an embedded /tmp/binutils... path in
some files.  This for example happens when building GCC.
