That's the problem with sweeping commits: eventually, you make it
impossible to use cherry-pick because that would end up including the
entire commit, along with all other Makefiles it touched. In the past,
I've simply committed the change manually in the quarterly branch (git
commit, git push).

Since 2024Q2 was branched before the GNU_CONFIGURE_MANPREFIX change,
you'll need to keep the band-aid in the quarterly branch for this cycle.
