There is a typo somewhere in the mikmod which results in a broken
/usr/bin/libmikmod-config script:

                echo $libdir -lmikmod -lpthread -ldl -L%prefix/lib 
-L/usr/lib  -lm

The %prefix breaks makefiles which include it because it cannot be
expanded.  The %prefix should in fact be ${prefix} not %prefix.  Not sure
where in the source this problem occurs but it causes annoying warnings
when compiling apps which use it.  For example:

/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=link gcc  -O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -Wall
                -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-all-loops -finline-functions
-ffast-math
                -m486  -o libmikmod.la -rpath /usr/lib/xmms/Input -module
-avoid-version
                drv_xmms.lo plugin.lo -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk
-lgdk -rdynamic
                -lgmodule -lgthread -lglib -lpthread -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11
-lm -lpthread
                -L/usr/lib -lmikmod -lpthread -ldl -L%prefix/lib -L/usr/lib
-lm 
                ../../libtool: cd: %prefix/lib: No such file or directory
                libtool: link: warning: cannot determine absolute directory
name of
                `%prefix/lib'
                libtool: link: passing it literally to the linker, although
it might fail

see the problem? Any input?
