It probably should be, but it is not. Read the autogenerated ./configure 
file to understand why I use the environment variable and set 
--with-gpg-error-prefix to dummy. It took me some time to understand, why 
--with-gpg-error-prefix did not work as expected and how to work around.

Excactly. I did not INSTALL it, but compiled a local copy of gpg-error. 
This is usually what you need for cross compiling also (at least in static 
mode). In dynamic mode you need to do some path magic to get it to work on 
you destination system as well.
