[grep-2.5] Option '--program-prefix=g' behaves incorrect

Hello,

In order to have a 'ggrep' (which is distingushable from /usr/bin/grep
without having to look at the $PATH) I tried to do
  ./configure --program-prefix=g --prefix=/opt/SMAW/gnu

But the resulting paths after "make install" did not satisfy me:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root          4 May 28 17:20 /opt/SMAW/gnu/bin/egrep -> grep
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root          4 May 28 17:20 /opt/SMAW/gnu/bin/fgrep -> grep
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     123796 May 28 14:43 /opt/SMAW/gnu/bin/ggrep

i.e., the binary (and also the man pages) were renamed allright, but
the symbolic links are broken.
