If not PREFIX is passed, it get the value of $(DESTDIR)/usr, which I
think is correct?

If PREFIX=/usr at install time, it tries to install on the host
system.

I guess autotools would have done a better job with DESTDIR and PREFIX.

What I can tell, the libselinux.pc is the only target that make use of
PREFIX during compile time.

But maybe I should set PREFIX explicitly to $(XXXXX_DIR)/usr during
installation just for clarity?

From libselinux/src/Makefile:
PREFIX ?= $(DESTDIR)/usr
