I found the reason why the dhcpv4 fails.
The execution of /usr/libexec/nm-dhcp-helper fails because the binary file
is at the /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-helper on Ubuntu 16.04.

So I used --libexecdir=, then execution error solved but still dhcpv4 fails...

        ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libexecdir=/usr/lib/NetworkManager

Now, I switched to Fedora 26 and it works !
Thanks.
