I think ${DESTDIR} is only guaranteed to what its name says: a
destination directory. This will only work to _install_ an already
compiled tree (and this feature is heavily relied on during the
release build process).
I'm not sure what other people think, but i'm of the opinion that your
patches try to extend the idea of ${DESTDIR}.
