                 Summary: Prefix ending with "/" leads to missing *.oct and
*.m search paths.  => configure with --libdir=/octave///lib leads to errors in
load path construction

Follow-up Comment #4:

Thank you, that helps. I can confirm, if I build Octave with
'--prefix=${PREFIX} --libdir='${PREFIX}//lib', then several directory
variables look like absolute directories rather than relative directories
under OCTAVE_HOME.

This can be easily worked around by calling configure with properly normalized
file names, but I agree that the build system should be resistant to this kind
of unusual input.

Updating summary description.
