The problem here is the trick I used when configuring
gcc. I call the configure script with

configure ... --prefix=\\\$\$DJDIR ...

to have then in the Makefile

prefix = \$$DJDIR

and then, when for instance gcc.c or cccp.c are compiled, they
get as arguments for the default directories the string $DJDIR
and not the expanded variable $DJDIR. This was for me the best
way to have the $DJDIR variable hardcoded in the executables
without modifying the sources and/or the Makefile but of course
in case of using the $(prefix) variable inside the Makefile
it will fail.
