[issue9674] make install DESTDIR=/home/blah fails when the prefix specified is /

[Ron Hubbard]

Ron Hubbard added the comment:

this is a very ugly bug and should be fixed ASAP

it's not only breaking python itself, but any package that uses this python installer, for example

http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q3/1025

what is preventing a merge of the existing patch ?
