I think this is it. I ran cmake a few times before I got all
dependencies right and most likely left out -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in
the beginning. Indeed, after

$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=None ..
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/falkon -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=None ..

I get /usr/local/lib64/plugins/falkon in build/CMakeCache.txt and
build/src/config.h. Running only the second command in an empty build
directory gives /opt/falkon/lib64/plugins/falkon instead. It's a stupid
mistake caused by my blind faith in cmake being able to correctly
prioritize given options over its cache.
