My Linux systems are just as Jeff said.  In addition to that I
sometimes use this in a specfile, in cases where my %_prefix is
other than the default AND when the source code is free from
hard-coded paths, or can be patched to be so.

%{expand: %define _sysconfdir %{_prefix}%{_sysconfdir}/somewhere}
