It's not the prefix that is screwed up.  It's the libdir, which he is
claiming is hardcoded as `${PREFIX}/lib'.  On x86_64 multilib systems,
this should almost always be `${PREFIX}/lib64'.

For reference, the autoconf way to do this is by using:

  ./configure --prefix=/x --libdir=/x/lib64

I don't see any equivalent in `bjam -h`, but I'm not familiar with that
system.
