Setting exec-prefix manually was merely a suggestion to see if that
fixed the problem during install as a test, but not really a solution
to the problem. For it to work, you would have needed to also set
the variable during install too (e.g., make install exec-prefix=/
usr), so it's consistent that it still tried to install to /bin
without it.
That said, the real test would be to use a clean source checkout and
NOT run the autogen.sh script. Only run configure and make, then see
what variables are set in the top-level Makefile (e.g., grep "prefix
= " Makefile). I'd recommend starting there with checkout+configure
+checkmakefile then trying checkout+autogen.sh+configure
+checkmakefile. Report back here whether either or both of those
steps have empty prefix or exec_prefix variables.

Probably, but if that's true then the build should work fine if you
avoid running autogen.sh.
