We should just drop prefix=... from that line, as the "prefix=value must
be the same while building and installing" is not only about the "profile"
build but applies to any other build.

I however wonder why you would need a separate profile-install target,
though.  Shouldn't 

	$ make foo-build && make install

install a funky 'foo' variant of the build for any supported value of
'foo'?
