Could you post the full configure line you used.

systemd/udev is actually one of those few packages which does support the usr
split nicely.
In the Debian we can't for the time being rely on /usr being available during
early boot, so we use the following configure flags:


./configure --prefix=/usr --includedir=${prefix}/include
--mandir=${prefix}/share/man --infodir=${prefix}/share/info --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var --libdir=${prefix}/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
--libexecdir=${prefix}/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --with-rootprefix=
--with-rootlibdir=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --enable-libcryptsetup --enable-tcpwrap
--enable-selinux --enable-gtk-doc --disable-coredump --with-distro=debian

(taken from config.log)

This works nicely, no problems with make install or anything.

That is how every autotools using package works. Unless you specify
--sysconfdir, it's based on $prefix. So it works as expected.
