And I assume:
$ grep prefix=\' config.log
exec_prefix='${prefix}'
prefix='/usr/local'

hmmm. Even even with --prefix=/usr/local I am unable to replicate :{
Could you rm stapio-mainloop.o && make stapio-mainloop.o ?
With --prefix=/usr/local it should give:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.  -DBINDIR='"/usr/local/bin"'
-DPKGDATADIR='"/usr/local/share/systemtap"'
-DPKGLIBDIR='"/usr/local/libexec/systemtap"' [...]
