>From time to time someone in the NetBSD camp prods at their build
environment w.r.t. DESTDIR. There are changes in the bmake include
files and /usr/bin/cpp to support most of the DESTDIR functionality.
(The /usr/bin/cpp changes were to handle --nostdinc.)
The NetBSD build environment still doesn't distinguish the compiler
used to build tools during the build process from the compiler used to
compile the target binaries. This is non-fatal when building
different OS releases but is a problem for cross-compilation or if
someone changes the binary format. ELF proponents please take note! :-)
