If I do:

in the Makefile.am, libfoo.a will be installed into $(prefix)/lib. If
I am using AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM in configure.ac, I want to be able to
set build, host, and target for building a cross compiler. I would
then want the above library to be installed into
$(prefix)/$(host)/lib. How do I accomplish that?
You *really* don't want to redefine any standard location. Leave that
for the user. However, you are free to define new non-standard
locations for you use. For example, in my package Makefile.am I
define 'codersdir' to be the directory path where I want some library
modules to be installed. Later on I define 'coders_LTLIBRARIES' to be
the list of all the library modules (.la files) to install in that
directory. At install time all of these libraries get magically
installed into the directory indicated by 'codersdir'.
You will find that Automake offers a quite flexible mechanism for
installing in arbitrary directories.
As a golden rule, make sure that all directories used logically fall
under the user-supplied prefix unless the user specifically says to
install elsewhere.
