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.
