Changing ?= to = has no drawback for me. Overwriting these variables by
calling "make PREFIX=/usr" still works (I have tested it).

Can you please leave LIBDIR = $(PREFIX)/lib instead of hard-coding the
libdir? If a user sets PREFIX to /usr, the default libdir should
be /usr/lib instead of /usr/local/lib.
