This is correct. DESTDIR normally is empty, and is supposed to be
provided from the environment if wanting to shift the root of
installation tree. It typically is applied for building rpms, which
temporary installs to a temporary directory.

This '/' is wrong, but doesn't disturb under Unix. 

If it disturbs under Cygwin, ... well, ...
