    It may be possible to do what you want, though it's really doing it the
    hard way... I recommend you do it sanely like:

    # ./configure --enable-debug --prefix=/opt/abi-test
    # make
    # make install
    # /opt/abi-test/bin/AbiWord

    or --prefix=$HOME/abi-test if you prefer. If you need to run gdb, then one
    way to do it is:

    # export ABISUITE_HOME=/opt/abi-test/share/AbiSuite
    # export ABISUITE_FONT_HOME=$ABISUITE_HOME/fonts
    # gdb /opt/abi-test/bin/AbiWord_d
    > run
    > bt
