Are you sure you are running the same version of Nmap as you just
compiled?  Maybe there is another nmap in your $PATH.  Also, if you
change your configure parameters, you made need to 'make clean' before
you 'make' again or you could get the old values.  I have not been
able to reproduce the problem you reported.  I did configure
--prefix=/tmp/toolz/nmap , make, make install and I get:

/tmp/toolz/nmap/bin/nmap -d2 localhost |& grep Fetchfile
Fetchfile found /tmp/toolz/nmap/share/nmap/nmap-services

Cheers,
Fyodor
