Don't.  This would be trying to overwrite the files that come with
Emacs.  It seems you are trying to set up a private "/usr/local" in
"/home/me/prefix", so the canonical place to install Org into would be:

prefix  := /home/me/prefix/share
lispdir := $(prefix)/emacs/site-lisp/org
datadir := $(prefix)/emacs/etc/org

You need to check that sitelispdir for your Emacs points to that place
as well.

make config-all
make -n install
