+ If no --prefix option is given, by default libdir (but not dynlibdir) will be

 Dependencies:
-  --with-sysdeps=DIR            use sysdeps in DIR [/usr/lib/skalibs/sysdeps]
+  --with-sysdeps=DIR            use sysdeps in DIR [PREFIX/lib/skalibs/sysdeps]

   --with-lib=DIR                add DIR to the list of searched directories for static libraries
   --with-dynlib=DIR             add DIR to the list of searched directories for shared libraries
 
+ If no --prefix option is given, by default sysdeps will be fetched from
+ /usr/lib/skalibs/sysdeps.

 Optional features:
   --enable-shared               build shared libraries [disabled]
   --disable-static              do not build static libraries [enabled]
   --disable-allstatic           do not prefer linking against static libraries [enabled]
   --enable-static-libc          make entirely static binaries [disabled]
