Thanks, Jean. Your suggestion made me do some further digging. IRIX's make is among a handful of variants which do not allow command-line variable definitions to override those that preexist in the Makefiles. It seems like the solution to this that the GNU people took was to remove all instances of "DESTDIR =" from their Makefile.in's. Maybe I'll submit some patches to amanda-hackers to fix it. It's a niggling little bug but if a one-line patch to each of the Makefile.in's will fix it then it's worth people not running into the problem in the future.
