DESTDIR appears to work fine! Its not broken.
I use it in with all of the Kerberos installs. Please don't change its
function! As you pointout in the (1) below its an alternate root, The
answer to the original problem is to use --prefix=/krb5
We build the code in AFS using --prefix=/krb5, and add a
DESTDIR=/afs/<cell>/appl/kerb-5.6/@sys to the install. We can then
link or copy the files to /krb5 on the individual machine.
/krb5/sbin/* get copied, the lib, man, bin, and include are symlinks to
/afs/..../@sys/krb5/... Paths which are compiled in start at /krb5,
where they can be found, yet we can "install" them in AFS at a
different location.
