Hmms, probably it is the new -gen-parrot-prefix

I think you may be confusing the Star distribution and
the compiler. The Star distribution has a --prefix option,
but the compiler does not.
However, I just tried --prefix with my Star tarball and
Configure.pl failed to detect the parrot_config after
installing Parrot. So, that's a bug to be fixed for the
next release.
The "--gen-parrot-prefix" option is available for the
compiler's Configure.pl to supply a prefix whenever a
new Parrot is being built via "--gen-parrot". But again,
for Rakudo Star we expect people to simply use --prefix.
Pm
you can still work around this by compiling and installing parrot
independently, to some where in the relevant paths, then
perl Configure.pl --prefix=path
can work since your are not not using --gen-parrot with the --prefix option
