I think the Right Way is to understand and tweak the build system so that it sets the id to $PREFIX. If you're getting @executable_path paths then the build system has figured out that you're building on a mac and is adjusting the paths for an app-bundle installation. You want to defeat that and get it to use plain paths. BTW, jhbuild can't at the moment even build boost because it lacks a bjam module, which makes it easy to fix the id. Boost has no dependencies so that wasn't a problem for me.
