No, --srcdir is not used. But have anybody tried building with different
--srcdir? The patch below worked, actually the idea is similar to the
patch I attached.

Looking forward to have it fixed before next version of lilypond. This
bug is there since (I think) 2.5.10 or so.

I think I pinpointed the problem. When doing packaging, prefix and
other paths are specified explicitly like:

./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --datadir=/usr/share ......

So in turn ${exec_prefix} is not used. But in this way packagers would
have their life difficult, since manpages, infopages etc may stay in
location different from what lilypond source preferred. For example,
while lilypond installs manpages in /usr/man (when prefix=/usr), most
Linux prefers to have manpage inside /usr/share/man. Directly hardcoding
./configure --mandir=/usr/share/man would cause install to fail if
DESTDIR is not used.

But anyway, this is not a great deal, since this affects only packagers,
and I have another workaround (prepend DESTDIR to most install dirs).
