$prefix is pesky, the gnu rule is to expand it at "make" time, not
configure time, if I understand it correctly.

Nosing around libguile/Makefile.am, I wonder if @prefix@ in the
libpath.h setup should be $(prefix).  Perhaps the other @foo@'s
similarly (though they're substituted to ${prefix}/something, so end
up obeying a make-time prefix at least).

Mind you personally I think anyone who configures with one prefix and
makes with another is probably asking for trouble, in general.
