I think DESTDIR is to be thought of as a virtual root. I don't know if
this mimics what you want. So, if you:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
and you want it installed to the "/nfs/stage1" staging directory,
you'd:
$ make install DESTDIR=/nfs/stage1
>From my reading of DESTDIR in the libtool manual, this should install
the software in /nfs/stage1/usr/local, with the RPATH configured for
/usr/local.
