what's correct about rewriting half of your _working_ system and then
realize that your build crashes?  (assuming that you did not tested the
same sources with different DESTDIR as xavier does and andreas didn't)

you can find yourself with incomplete system which has half of things
from your older build (or install) and other half from the new.  if you
are out of luck, your system is unusable (as andreas realized),
especially when doing things like 1.5.x -> 1.6x -current.

using DESTDIR=3D/ unless you _really_ know what you are doing is
irresponsible, imo.
