I'm using the SysV/POSIX make that comes with IRIX in /sbin/make.  It
works just fine to compile most GNU packages that use automake,
including amanda.  Everything works smoothly right up until I try to
install to a temproot.  It only wants to install in /usr/local
irregardless of what I set DESTDIR to in the environment or on the make
command line.

Are you saying this works for you in general or specifically on an SGI?

I have an identical set of occurences of DESTDIR throughout Makefile and
Makefile.in, yes.  It's a pristine amanda source directory.  From what I
see in the amanda-hackers archives it looks like there were problems
with amanda being DESTDIR clean in the past but that the patches which
correct the problem were committed prior to 2.4.2p2, the version I am
using.

Thanks,
