When I use prefix=/usr and try to install libtraceevent in my laptop it tries to install in /usr/lib64. I am not having any folder as /usr/lib64 and also the debian policy doesnot allow installing in /usr/lib64. It should be in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/. Quote: No package for a 64 bit architecture may install files in /usr/lib64/ or in a subdirectory of it. ref: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html Make it more flexible by allowing to mention libdir_relative while installing so that distros can mention the path according to their policy or use the default one.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
