Details:

After configuring GRUB with ./configure --program-prefix=prefix---
--prefix=/tmp/grub2-inst , it still installs several files that have neither
the prefix nor the target platform in the path.  In particular,
grub-mkconfig_lib differs between platforms yet gets installed to
/usr/share/grub/ .

I ran into this when building GRUB for both 32-bit and 64-bit EFI, installing
the former with a prefix; I encountered file conflicts between the resulting
two packages.
