If I just do

right now, it builds the parrot executable ok but then fails when it tries to compile the library .imc files. It's looking for the icu data dir in $(prefix)/blib/lib/2.6.1. It works if I do
perl Configure.pl --prefix=$(pwd) make
or set PARROT_ICU_DATA_DIR, but this seems like an unfriendly default for developers.
I have a similar problem with the search path for loadable modules.
I think I probably broke this, btw, when I repaired 'make install'. I had previously bandaged over the problem by defaulting ${prefix} to the top-level directory. But I'm not sure how to fix it.
It's probably the issue of what to use at build-time v. install-time; I'd expect that nothing should be looked for via ${prefix} at build time, and rather it would just be used at install time (and possibly on the link line when building the shared libparrot, to set the install name).
