Our configure.in:
if test x$QOF_XML_DIR = x; then
        QOF_LIB_DIR=`eval echo $libdir | sed "s%^NONE%$prefix%"`
        QOF_LIB_DIR=`eval echo $QOF_LIB_DIR | sed "s%^NONE%$prefix%"`  
        QOF_CFLAGS="-I\${top_srcdir}/lib/libqof/qof"
        QOF_LIBS="\${top_srcdir}/lib/libqof/qof/libqof.la"
#       QOF_LIB_DIR=`eval echo ${libdir}`
        QOF_VERSION="internal"
        QOF_PREFIX="internal"
        QOF_XML_DIR=`eval echo ${datadir}/xml/qsf`
        LIBQOF_LIBRARY_VERSION=1:2:0
        LIBQOF_BACKEND_QSF_LIBRARY_VERSION=0:1:0
        AC_SUBST(LIBQOF_LIBRARY_VERSION)
        AC_SUBST(LIBQOF_BACKEND_QSF_LIBRARY_VERSION)
        AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBQOF,,[We will use the internal QOF code])
        HAVE_LIBQOF="use_internal"
fi

I'm guessing that if --prefix is not specified, then it will be 'NONE'
and this will fail.  Maybe we want:

        QOF_LIB_DIR='${GNC_LIBDIR}'
