Ubuntu's multisearch surprise
But from what I've seen, someone who uses libtool will typically support
DESTDIR as well (I speculate that if you're a libtool user, you're
probably more interested in portability and thus more likely to support
DESTDIR).
True. A quick audit here shows few examples: APR/apr-util/apache are the
primary ones, but we know they're seriously weird to the point of not
supporting biarch building without ugly hacks (and they have INSTALL_ROOT
which you can use instead). (I mean, keeping around a copy of libtool from
your configure process and reusing it in other projects? Ew.)
