I must have misunderstood this, since it sounds like it would potentially
break any system where each binary package is installed into a separate
tree. For example, stow packages are routinely installed with:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install prefix=/usr/local/stow/package-version
DESTDIR cannot easily be used here because the stow layout should have
simple bin, etc, lib, etc. directories directly under that directory, not
with an extra /usr/local in the way.
