Try "make -k install" instead. That will still produce errors, but
will keep going past the errors.

The problem is that --prefix= is meant to deal with alternate
locations for project-specific (NUT-specific) binaries and data files,
but the files you are referring to are used by other system
components.

You could also use "make DESTDIR=...", and move the drivers over by hand.
