That may or may not be enough - the 'configure' process will sometimes look thinks up to get the fully-rooted path, and then use that. See http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html and look for CONFIG_SHELL. http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Defining-Variables may help.
