Description Roman 2009-03-20 05:29:37 UTC

RUNTIME_PREFIX has such definition :
1. It is the directory into which uClibc runtime libraries will be installed (used during installation)!
2. Also shared library loader use it (compiled in).
3. Used for generation of $(PREFIX)$(DEVEL_PREFIX)lib/libc.so (Makefile.in:385).

I think, it is hard to join definition of installation path and library loader path on developer machine (toolchain) in single macros.
Or it is possible that there is bug - using of $(RUNTIME_PREFIX) with and without $(PREFIX) for same purposes (developer path). Look at Makefile.in:385, and so on.

i think the variable usage is just confusing you

as documented in Rules.mak, PREFIX is like DESTDIR (base root where you install)

as for RUNTIME_PREFIX and DEVEL_PREFIX, those are documented in the Kconfig help
