It could also be done by writing explicit rules for each *.o file.
However your patch is not correct because it wouldn't work in packages
that don't use libtool.

INSTALLPREFIX is only needed when you compile to a shared library
(defined(PIC)). But it's not wise to compile libintl into a shared
library not called libintl. Can you explain why PIC is defined in your
environment and what kind of library you are building?
