When compiling source code into a temporary directory for 
packaging, which of the following will work more often:


make install prefix=/pkgdir/usr/local

or

make DESTDIR=/pkgdir install

I've encountered one package, omniORB for which DESTDIR
worked but prefix was ignored.  Would the reverse sometimes
be true for some packages?
