Actually syconfdir was respected only when prefix was /usr. When it was not /usr, ETC_GIT* were always set to etc/... The following version of patch reproduces that behaviour:

Subject: [PATCH] Honor $(prefix) set in config.mak* when defining ETC_GIT*
 and sysconfdir

Definitions of ETC_GITCONFIG, ETC_GITATTRIBUTES and sysconfdir depend on value of prefix. As prefix can be changed in config.mak.autogen, all if blocks with conditions based on prefix should be placed after the file is included in Makefile.
