It may be an default environment variable. That does not mean it is
actually used.

Sadly evilvte has not autoconf generated configure but a home-grewn.
And this one has only:
for opt do
  case "$opt" in
    --prefix=*) prefix=`echo $opt | cut -d '=' -f 2`
      ;;
  esac
done

So none of those options but --prefix is actually used and the rest is
silently ignored.

Please always look at the invocation of the compiler. It's important
what ends up there. Even when autoconf is used there are possibilites
for upstream to break it and have some other value used.
