It should work fine without DESTDIR.  I use it with just './build.sh'
at home.  It may be that something is not up to date on your system.
I do have 'TOOLDIR=/usr/obj/tooldir' in /etc/mk.conf on my system.

You could just do "./build.sh -u -d DESTDIR=/" but that would overwrite
all of /etc on your system.  You *should* be able to just run "build.sh -u"
and have it build (without cleandir) and install into /.

I still prefer to just do "make build" in /usr/src myself. :-)
And I would hope "make install" would still work as well.
