last I checked it worked fine with prefix=/usr/local but not with
prefix=/usr - one of the problems being /usr/local/etc (OK) /usr/etc
(not OK).

Luckily one can fix the issue(s) for oneself - what works for me to make
a 'waf install'ed, prefix=/usr and DESTDIR installs run is:

Theoretically you'd only need to set ARDOUR_PATH. but things WRT to
bundling keep changing. Alternatively you can also create some symlinks
in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ardour3/ to panners, surfaces, etc. see
gtk2_ardour/main.cc:fixup_bundle_environment() and tools/linux_packaging/*
