In function finalize_options() of Lib/distutils/command/install.py at https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/575d0b46d122292ca6e0576a91265d7abf7cbc3d/Lib/distutils/command/install.py#L284 (prefix, exec_prefix) is set using get_config_vars(). This may be incorrect when Python has been manually copied in another location from the location where it has been installed with 'make install'. We should use sys.prefix and sy.exec_prefix instead, those values are calculated by getpath.c instead of being retrieved from the sysconfigdata module.
