After 3 years this bug is still unresolved, despite the fact that the change is trivial. Anything wrong?
BTW, the problem is not only that everything ends up in the wrong place, setting the prefix also hardcodes those faulty paths in the executable, which means that after moving everything to the "right" place 'netsurf' doesn't find its dependencies, resulting in errors like this: > netsurf Message translations failed to load Unable to initialise the font system Is there some other scenario I'm not aware of (like setting EPREFIX manually, or some such), where this behaviour can be seen as useful?
Another year, still no progress? )-; Or, perhaps there is, I haven't bothered checking.
Let's fix this after seven years. Can you send a patch to the gentoo-dev mailing list. All eclass changes generally go there. The netsurf eclass is limited in scope so it might have normally earned an exception, but since no one is maintaining it, that will collect a few more eyeballs. If no one sees a problem with it I'll merge your fix.

While investigating bug 489542, it became clear that the netsurf eclass is deprecated in spirit if not in fact. All of the newer netsurf ebuilds use a custom function loaded from a script that is shipped in netsurf-buildsystem's $FILESDIR to do (some of) what the eclass used to do. That function probably does belong in an eclass, but at this point, we should throw this thing out and start from scratch. By deprecating the eclass, we make sure that no one else inherits it during the time it takes to purge the two remaining consumers. Then, once those are gone, the build system script magic can be put back into an eclass, and its consumers updated one-at-a-time.

This version comes with a gentoo-helpers-r2.sh that contains the correct Gentoo-prefix paths for PREFIX and NSSHARED. The problem was originally reported against netsurf.eclass, but it has migrated to this script in the meantime.

This is now fixed in netsurf-buildsystem-1.9, and all of its consumers *except* www-client/netsurf itself. When the proxy maintainer gets around to doing the v3.10 version bump, that will be fixed as well. This eclass is now deprecated, and will be marked dead as soon as the one remaining consumer (dev-libs/libparserutils) can be stabilized and cleaned up. So, there's no point in fixing the eclass itself. It's been a wild ride, thanks for pointing out the breakage!

This new version (bug 727882) combined with the removal of the old versions fixes some outstanding issues: * Fixes the mixup between ED/D (and EROOT, variously) throughout the build system (bug 489542). * Adds a dependency on dev-lang/duktape, but as a result, has to drop keywords for arm, ppc, and ppc64 (bugs 698650, 728592). * Adds a patch to fix the location of utf8proc.h (bug 721318) * Adds a patch to disable failing tests (bug 687378). * Drops the broken USE=pdf-writer flag (bug 625770). * Apparently fixes the test failure with USE="-gtk2", since the test suite now passes (bug 672812). * Eliminates another test failure in v3.8 (bug 701322).
