I'm amazed you keep talking about destdir installs in blfs tools: there is no possibility for that, is there? Oh, I see, you use the packInstall.sh for dpkg or pacman, don't you? I've never tested that, I use porg. I even believed there was no way to use destdir installs in blfs tools, because some directories have to be created before some instructions are run. Concerning texlive, the binary build could be added if you request it, but for texlive, the build time is not very long compared to the download time anyway, so I always install texlive from source. Normally, now, all commands that depend on texlive or doxygen are commented out as being remap='doc' instructions, so there are no circular dependencies for those. Scripts need to be edited to use doxygen and/or texlive instead (uncomment the corresponding instructions).
