Bug in Makefile (make install) for 0.9.8

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run 'configure' with a custom prefix (i.e. prefix=<path>)
2. make
3. make install

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output would be no errors.  Instead, 'make install' errors out
with:

test -z "/mozilla/plugins" || /bin/mkdir -p "/mozilla/plugins"
/bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/mozilla': Permission denied
make[3]: *** [install-install_libexecPROGRAMS] Error 1

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
gecko-mediaplayer 0.9.8 on CentOS 5.2

Please provide any additional information below.

The reason for this is that "libdir" is set to <blank> within Makefile.  It
_should_ be set to ${exec_prefix}/lib.  This is true for the regular
Makefile and for src/Makefile (since both are generated from the same
input).  Making this correction allows 'make install' to complete properly.

This is usually due to something else being broken in the config file, like the
plugin library to link to is not detected. Please provide the full configure 
output.
