Hi Thilo,

I seriously doubt that this change is correct. The code has been the way
it is since it was added 10+ years ago (commit d2c4f8f8fc). Well, the test
was written as

        if test "$inst_prefix_dir" = "$destdir"; then
          $echo ...
          exit
        fi

way back when, but that's equivalent to the current code.

Cheers,
Peter
