Hmm it was configured:

  ./configure --prefix=/home/alex/src/emacs/install \
              --with-x-toolkit=no --with-modules \
              --with-nativecomp --with-xpm=ifavailable \
              --with-gif=ifavailable --with-tiff=ifavailable

I can't quite follow where the automake magic sets DESTDIR but in the
main Makefile I certainly have:

  # The default location for installation.  Everything is placed in
  # subdirectories of this directory.  The default values for many of
  # the variables below are expressed in terms of this one, so you may
  # not need to change them.  This defaults to /usr/local.
  prefix=/home/alex/src/emacs/install

Where is DESTDIR defined during the build?
