Yo Matthew! I think I'm starting to realize part of the confusion here.

That statement is 100% false.
The falsity can be readily verified. Follow along as I do so:
I start in this directory:
/usr/local/src/NTP/ntpsec
Here is a build recipe:
./waf clean
export DESTDIR=/usr/local/
./waf configure --refclock=all --prefix=BATSHIT && ./waf build &&./waf install
Taht does a build to here:
/usr/local/u1/local/src/NTP/ntpsec/BATSHIT/sbin/ntpd
Looking in there, no BATSHIT:
# fgrep BATSHIT /u1/local/u1/local/src/NTP/ntpsec/BATSHIT -r
#
Oddly, the install SAYS it installed everything, but only modeuls got
installed on my system.
The modules installed here (not exactly sure why, problem for another day):
/usr/local/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/
When I look, no BATSHIT:
# fgrep BATSHIT /usr/local/usr/ -r
#
So, 100% proven, --prefix does NOT go into ANTYHING that gets installed.
--prefix and DESTDIR, are ONLY used to decide where to install. And as
the above shows, how they work together not exactly obvious.
