Description
Use `--prefix ""` - no prefix. `--prefix "/"` causes funny-looking `//lib`, `//bin`, etc. to appear in various places, which don't harm anything but do look odd, and we shouldn't continue making the same mistake IMO.

Research direction
Search the repository's build configuration for uses of `--prefix "/"` and identify the module-related command that produces paths such as `//lib` and `//bin`. Change that prefix to an empty value, then verify the generated module paths no longer contain the doubled slash.
