You appear to be simply using different prefixes for each pair
(host,target).
The GNU Coding Standards say that files in $(prefix) should be common
for all hosts (and presumably to all targets), whereas files in
$(exec_prefix) may differ from one host to another.
Since bfd.h may differ from one host to another, it must not be
installed in $(prefix), but rather in $(exec_prefix).
You're free to keep exec_prefix = prefix, as long as you use different
prefixes for different hosts, but this should not be required, since
it's in direct conflict with the GNU Coding Standards.
