 If you look at 3.4, you'll see the test has changed:
 if test x$with_sysroot = x && test x$host = x$target \
    && test "$prefix" != "/usr" && test "x$prefix" != "x$local_prefix" ; then
   AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(PREFIX_INCLUDE_DIR, "$prefix/include")
 fi
 
 i.e. cross compilers no longer search $prefix/include/.  I'm sre it'll
 break someone's setup somewhere; however, it also just makes more sense
 this way.
