Your distribution may make modifications to libtool to reduce the
inter-library dependencies; such modification can cause problems when
the build produces libraries that link to other libraries in the build.
See for example:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=291641

I routinely use --prefix=/some/non-existant/path during development as
most of my builds don't ever get installed. I reconfigure/rebuild to
install.
