You have to fix the makefiles. If you escape the dollar signs in LDFLAGS, then Autotools will fail its conftests because they don't use a makefile. Autotools conftests use CFLAGS, LDFLAGS (and friends) directly.
In that case, how is your "-Wl,-runpath,$(prefix)/lib" handled at that stage?
I'll reach out to other GNU maintainers to ask for advice. I don't want to depart much from what others do here.
