It changes the paths so they can be made to be FHS-compliant by
default.  For example, with the default prefix of /usr/local/samba
the paths work out to be:

     /usr/local/samba/bin
     /usr/local/samba/etc/samba
     /usr/local/samba/include
     /usr/local/samba/lib
     /usr/local/samba/sbin
     /usr/local/samba/share/samba
     /usr/local/samba/var/locks/samba
     /usr/local/samba/var/log/samba
     /usr/local/samba/var/spool/samba

(or something like that)

If you want a 100% FHS setup, use:

    ./configure --with-fhs --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --localstatedir=/var
