Apparently the only thing that's broken is the original implication in
this mail thread that something is broken, and also the advice that
DESTDIR must not be specified on a make command line for targets other
than installworld, installkernel, or distribute.  (To be fair, the
original was more of a question, but then what followed were replies
that reinforced an implication that something is really wrong.)

I finally got updated with -current this morning and I find that my
cross-build scripts which just blindly always pass DESTDIR=<somepath> on
the make command line regardless of the targets being built still work
fine, like they always have.

Oops, indeed; sorry for contributing to the confusion.
