make install_utils puts things in /usr/usr

If you look at utils/Makefile.in you'll see that despite prepending PREFIX and 
RUNTIME_PREFIX, when you install_utils it prepends another "usr" to the start 
of the path it installs to.

So if you say "PREFIX=/usr/local RUNTIME_PREFIX=/" you wind up installing in 
/usr/local/usr, which is weird.  If you say "PREFIX=/ RUNTIME_PREFIX=/usr" you 
wind up installing in /usr/usr/", which is also weird.

Does anybody know what's up with this?
