I don't know what the right thing to do is. But have you tried a
couple of tests - configure, make, make install using, say:
--program-suffix=a --program-prefix=b
--program-transform-name='s/(g)/a\1b/'
--program-prefix="A'B"

I don't even know if the top level autoconf script will let you do some
of these. I suspect it won't, I found serious problems there before.
Also, make sure /bin/sh is bash rather than ash; autoconf falls down
with backslashes in arguments otherwise.
