Make sure that you have created DESTDIR and RELEASEDIR before doing 
`make release', or you have permission to write to those directories.

In my case:

	$ make DESTDIR=/home/bjy/build RELEASEDIR=/home/bjy/release release

Unfornately, make release on -current is broken for now, at least
on i386. I'm not sure whether it works on other platforms. make build
still works fine.
