*Perhaps* what Chris is trying to understand is how you use "make $DESTDIR" and tools like "tree" to find out what the standard build commands do and how/why they get changed? Just a thought - I know that was often something I had pondered before I found out! It's what I used to work out what Asterisk does and enabled me to tailor my build commands so everything went where I wanted it...
