Now I feel really stupid. You're right, I couldn't find a single package where it really had and impact. The only difference is that dovecot is the only tool I found which reports an unknown configure option which is probably why I never noticed that... Where dovecot behaves different then other tools is here: When you specify --sysconfdir=C it puts its files under C/dovecot. I would expect it to respect my setting and put them directly under C. When you specify --prefix=P it puts its libraries under P/lib/dovecot and programs under P/libexec/dovecot. (A lot of tools put the include files under P/include/dovecot) I compile all my software to use: /etc/opt/dovecot /opt/dovecot/bin /opt/dovecot/lib /opt/dovecot/libexec /var/opt/dovecot Which doesn't work with dovecot, as far as I can tell. Especially for libexec. (--sysconfdir could be set to /etc/opt which would be different then other tools but should work.)
