No, you shouldn't leave that setup like that, qmicli is still crashing.

It looks like your distribution isn't using /usr/lib by default for
libdir, which is why this is breaking like this. Instead of the
configure with only --prefix, do the following:

// clear your previous installation that you did with --prefix=/usr
$ sudo make uninstall

// now configure also specifying --libdir, e.g. I would bet you're
using Ubuntu or similar, so:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
$ make -j8 && sudo make install

// and now retry the qmicli command, e.g.
$ sudo  qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 -p --nas-get-signal-info

You could allocate a DMS client also for those, e.g. using --dms-noop
instead, but well, if it's only 2 commands and you're not going to
poll them over and over, you could just run them without the explicit
client allocation logic.
