 The following works as expected:
 {{{
 $ make install DESTDIR=$PWD/image
 }}}

 however when using a relative target path it fails:
 {{{
 $ make install DESTDIR=./image
 ...
 "inplace/bin/ghc-cabal" install "./image/usr/local/lib/ghc-7.0.1/ghc"
  "./image/usr/local/lib/ghc-7.0.1/ghc-pkg"
  "strip" "./image/usr/local/lib/ghc-7.0.1" libraries/ghc-prim dist-install
  './image' '/usr/local' '/usr/local/lib/ghc-7.0.1'
  '/usr/local/share/doc/ghc/html/libraries' NO
 ghc-cabal:
 make[1]: *** [install_packages] Error 1
 make: *** [install] Error 2
 }}}
 The ghc-cabal command clearly fails, but no error message (other than
 "ghc-cabal:") is produced.
