The current code uses defaults asserted by autoconf when ./configure is
run. There might be ways to do our own overrides, but I'm torn about
whether that's a good idea or not.
Also, "make install" for me tries to put stuff in /usr/local/{s,}bin, not
/{s,}bin. And that's without saying "--prefix" or anything else in my
"./configure" line.
In your contrib/init/redhat/Makefile, what are "prefix", "exec_prefix" and
"sbindir" set to? Mine are:
prefix = /usr/local
exec_prefix = ${prefix}
sbindir = ${exec_prefix}/sbin

You can fix this by specifying --localstatedir=/var to ./configure.

You can fix this by specifying --sysconfdir=/etc to ./configure.

That's the same as "--prefix=/ --exec-prefix=/usr/local", so you could try
that as well.
