You confuse me. The purpose of AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS is to pass the configure arguments to subordinate configures (e.g. --prefix) so that as long as each subproject follows the same GNU-standard rules, the binaries should install into the same directory. Different "subprojects" may require a different version of autoconf, automake, libtool, etc., so care must be taken to use the correct tools when setting up the subproject.
