No, because that would violate GNU Coding Standards that the user be able to override $(prefix) at make time and have it affect all the other variables. Really, the best solution is to do exactly what we have already pointed you to - the gnulib module configmake is the ideal example of how to propagate these variables into source code: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=modules/configmake;h=5160128;hb=78f5fbf - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
