 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}.
