> I just built emacs from the source repo at https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs.git.
> 
> My configure options start with:  ./configure --prefix=/usr/lsd/$osname --verbose

> When it came time to do a make install the build results went to /usr/local. There are several Makefiles with "prefix =/usr/local instead of what I asked for in configure /usr/lsd/Linux.

Which build products went to /usr/local, and what Makefiles have this
wrong prefix?

> I'm building outside the source tree.

That could be part of the reason.
