See the following link about the variables prefix and sysconfdir:

http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Directory-Variables.html#Directory-Variables

The prefix is either /usr (used with packages such as .deb or .rpm) or
/usr/local (typically used when installing without a package), so the
configuration directory is either /etc or /usr/local/etc.
