In order to preserve my old environment during a complete fresh build,
I decided to use the DESTDIR option. Doing so I have discovered
several problems.
1 /usr/bin/cpp doesn't support the -idirafter option which is
used in AINC of src/lib/libc/Makefile.
2 In bsd.dep.mk AINC isn't used when depending C & C++ files so
/usr/include is sought instead of $DESTDIR/usr/include.
3 AINC isn't set apart from the src/lib/libc environment.
Is this intentional. If I have misunderstood the DESTDIR purpose,
wouldn't it be good to be able to do what I want, i.e. install
everything into DESTDIR, always use $DESTDIR/usr/include, and
$DESTDIR/usr/lib when compiling userprograms. For the moment, I have
fixes for point 1 & 2 above and working through point 3.
