OK, following that suggestion, I altered the Makefile in examples to read:

cgi-demo.cgi: cgi-demo.cgi.in $(top_builddir)/config.status
	<Added>cat cgi-demo.cgi.in |</Added> sed 
's,@''exec_prefix@,$(exec_prefix),' $< > $@
         chmod a+x $@

and the make now completes successfully.

But since my understanding of both make and sed is limited there is
probably a more elegant way to do it. At least it's a useful use of cat :)
