+
+    Makefile: ensure CONF_USR_DIR honours the libdir config
+
+    Following commit cee0cf84bd32 ("configure: add the --libdir option"),
+    iproute2 lib directory is configurable using the --libdir option on the
+    configure script. However, CONF_USR_DIR does not honour the configured
+    lib path in its default value.
+
+    This fixes the issue simply using $(LIBDIR) instead of $(PREFIX)/lib.
+    Please note that the default value for $(LIBDIR) is exactly
+    $(PREFIX)/lib, so this does not change the default value for
+    CONF_USR_DIR.
+
+    Fixes: 0a0a8f12fa1b ("Read configuration files from /etc and /usr")
