Yes.  That is standard gnu behavior.

With your change and without a prefix the libraries are installed in
.../i686-pc-cygwin/usr/lib rather than .../i686-pc-cygwin/lib ."

I don't agree that you should be forcing a usr in there at all.  That
is the point of exec_prefix and prefix.  I haven't tried this, but
it seems like if you:

configure --exec-prefix=/usr --prefix=/usr

you will end up with /usr/usr/include and /usr/usr/lib directories.
That is obviously wrong.

With your change the behavior of w32api varies from the rest of the
whole src toolchain.
