No it's not. Every piece of software I compile is compiled and installed
like this and they all work. Doing this allows you to do soft-linking in
any directory and it will alway work.

That's what I used to do but this breaks soft-linking. When I complained
about this (for other applications), I was told that when using
autoconf, you should use the --prefix when running make install, not
when running configure (or autogen in this case), if you plan on doing
softlinking.
I will also note that this used to work but then, sometime in the life
of the 1.7.x series, it suddenly broke. I'd also mentioned it at the
time.
