Bruno already explained why it is not a good idea to let DESTDIR
be the indicator of whether to look in /usr or not.

But I agree with you that there *should* be a common indicator to turn
off looking in /usr.  I think it should be a generalization of the
recent --with-sysroot addition to Libtool (which stems from the much
older sysroot support in GCC).  Implementors please talk to Paolo
Bonzini about further ideas for this.

Thanks,
Ralf
