Sorry, I was being a bit lazy with my language! What I meant was to use echo as 
a debug statement in extras/*/Makefile to see if DESTDIR was actually being 
passed.

e.g. in extras/run_directory/Makefile

install-bin: all
+        @echo DESTDIR = $(DESTDIR)
         $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) udev_run_devd $(DESTDIR)$(sbindir)/udev_run_devd

The main Makefile explicitly passes "prefix" to the submake, so doesn't DESTDIR 
have to be passed as well? If I don't pass it, it doesn't get set.

Thanks!
