I'm not sure. All I know is that I did
./configure --prefix=/home/cdb/bin/grub && make && make install,
then I tried to do /home/cdb/bin/grub/bin/grub-install /media/sdc1 and
grub-mkimage was getting called with /usr/local/lib/something. Since I
specified --prefix to configure, I expect grub never ever to refer
to /usr/local. This patch fixed my problem.
