The xen source tarball is delivered with a ./xen-2.0/ path and not with the version number is part of the path. As a result $(S) is wrong and I'm wondering what's the right way to handle this? I worked around the problem by rebuilding the tarball with the version number in the path and encountered a situation where it was trying to make a directory in someplace it shouldn't. (/usr/portage/distfiles/install). looking further into the makefile generating the error, it appears that $(DESTDIR) is the culprit. My second question is it legitimate to change DESTFILE or should I create a patch or dynamically edit makefiles to change DESTFILE. If I change it, what do I change it to?
