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!
