+Now that I looked this a bit more I tend to agree with David:\r
+\r
+default PREFIX is /usr/local\r
+\r
+and $ pkg-config emacs --variable sitepkglispdir\r
+\r
+outputs\r
+\r
+/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp\r
+\r
+(in default case we should mangle /local/ there in between ... :/ ).\r
+\r
+package managers can add \r
+\r
+./configure ---emacslispdir=`pkg-config emacs --variable sitepkglispdir`\r
+\r
+in their build scripts.\r
