No, DESTDIR is not only set for cross builds, but also for unprileged
native builds. We do want the headers from the new DESTDIR, unless
we are building (as root) to / directly (which only is semi-supported,
but usually works for updates when the host system is not too old compared
to the new sources).

When compiling in the HOST environment, we never want explicit --sysroot
(so we get that installs native paths/headers).
