Sorry, but I still do not grasp the problem.  Try explaining
again.  I'm just dense, I guess.

?  If you don't do a "make install", how can you expect configure
to do that part of its job?

It has always been a requirement that the location of lynx.cfg be
known to Lynx, whether that be compiled in by defining in userdefs.h,
provided as an environment variable, or fed on the command line.
(The configure option "--libdir" has *nothing* to do with this, and
only has meaning if you use configure to install.)
