Hi Brandon,

It works for me.
Which release of make are you using, it must be gnu make?

> grep DESTDIR Makefile common-src/Makefile
------------------------------------
Makefile:DESTDIR =
Makefile:       $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdatadir)
Makefile:           echo " $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/$$p 
$(DESTDIR)$(pkgdatadir)/$$p"; \
Makefile:           $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/$$p $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdatadir)/$$p; \
Makefile:           echo " $(INSTALL_DATA) $$p $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdatadir)/$$p"; \
Makefile:           $(INSTALL_DATA) $$p $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdatadir)/$$p; \
Makefile:         rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdatadir)/$$p; \
Makefile:       $(mkinstalldirs)  $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdatadir)
common-src/Makefile:DESTDIR =
common-src/Makefile:    $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)
common-src/Makefile:        echo "$(LIBTOOL)  --mode=install $(INSTALL) $$p 
$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$$p"; \
common-src/Makefile:        $(LIBTOOL)  --mode=install $(INSTALL) $$p 
$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$$p; \
common-src/Makefile:      $(LIBTOOL)  --mode=uninstall rm -f 
$(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/$$p; \
common-src/Makefile:    $(mkinstalldirs)  $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)
------------------------------------

I have the same reference to DESTDIR in the Makefile.in
Do you get them?
