I observed this with two older versions (ac0.8[79]).

Not at all. I'd rather consider the present behavior an irritating bug
in the autoconf setup.
Furthermore, i think it is important to fix it in the way You
proposed: consider linux --- here many distributions put everything
belonging to the distribution into /usr/{bin,lib,...}, not into
/usr/local
It would make maintaining the distributions easier if --prefix
behaved as expected. Analogously for users without write privilege to
/usr/xxx or /usr/local/xxx

BTW: did someone notice that the two lynx versions i mentionened above
behave differently from 2.7.1 when they encounter preformatted tabular
material enhanced by table tags within <pre> (see, for example,
www.liga-kind.de or www.dfg.de, the latter tuned toward ac0.89)?
