[issue9674] make install DESTDIR=/ fails

Thank you for the report. I’m not sure I understand the bug.

1) On my linux-based system, doing something on //dir is the same thing as /dir. Is this a cosmetic bug (IOW, you’d like to see /dir and not //dir)?

2) Since I’m not root, creating /lib/python2.6 fails, as it should. (Note that distutils only prints one slash, which is nice.) What is the bug?

3) It’s not clear in your past whether you ran with DESTDIR=/ or  DESTDIR=/home/blah. Can you tell what you want to do and what is the bug?

Thanks again for the report.
