Huh? If I wanted to do that to myself, I'd always have DESTDIR set, instead
of only when populating an empty tree as part of the snapshot procedure.

Hmm, maybe I'm getting myself into trouble here because I expect it to
be possible to do some kind of make clean, followed by as many cycles
of "run make, fix bug, repeat" as it takes to get a full build.

Just what, exactly, is 'make build UPDATE=1' defined to do differently??
