When I install emacs using the --prefix directory and name the prefix
directory as EM-L, functionality of eshell gets affected.

This has been discussed in the following emacs-devel thread:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2012-08/msg00599.html

Please see below for an example:

Welcome to the Emacs shell

~/EM-L/bin $ which ls
~/EM-L/bin $ /bin/ls

~/EM-L/bin $ which which
~/EM-L/bin $ /usr/bin/which

~/EM-L/bin $ which pwd
~/EM-L/bin $ /bin/pwd
