Yes. Just looked at the recipe: $target is inside singlequotes. Looks
like some of that ${} stuff there should not be expanded though. So
I'd probably tweak the recipe like this:

 pre_link() {
    echo '
-prefix=$target
+prefix='"$target"'
 exec_prefix=${prefix}
 libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
 includedir=${exec_prefix}/include

Not tested, though it should work.
