MacOS X 10.4.10 and Bash 3.2

[Scott Dalton]

After running /configure --exec-prefix=/bin (also tried
--prefix=/bin), make succeeds, but sudo make install fails:

...

Notice how it is sticking an extra "/bin/" in there (third and fourth
lines down).

Does this appear to be a bug? I've read everything I can think of in
your docs, and also checked the web - appears not too many people have
considered upgrading their shell.
