INSTALL_PREFIX/DESTDIR is not instended for that. It is intended for
installing asterisk to a different prefix than the one you build it to.
It is commonly used for building installation packages (e.g: for rpms or
debs). 

It should break if you have any hard-wired path that is set according to
INSTALL_PREFIX.

However PREFIX is originally intended for a "package-per-directory"
pathers, right?
