You shouldn't need to, no.  Most devs regularly build from somewhere under
$HOME, and install into something like /opt/gnc/svn/…. I personally did all
2.2 work (including the FreqSpec -> Recurrence switchover and removal) with
2.0.5 installed normally in /usr/.

Perhaps the issue is that the build location is itself /usr/, for some reason?

That configure string seems reasonable.

I'm pretty sure nothing in the GnuCash sources can affect this, so much as
your system's build toolchain really determines which libraries get pulled
in.  But I'm not a build expert.

What version of automake are you using?
