The DESTDIR='' is suspicious. It seems the prefix is not passed
properly in recursive "make" invocations, and perl tries to install
things in the default directory.

It does. I installed Git successfully without ever being root on
several machines.
In my case, it was GNU/Linux machines, so something may go wrong
because of a non-gnu system. Did you try compiling with gmake instead
of make?
