OK, I tried that. See below for the results. Looks like we have the same

So as a
workaround, try "make install DESTDIR=/" which would result in
"///foo/bar" which is the POSIX-sanctioned way of dealing with
filesystems that reserve // for network paths.  Or, you could actually
use DESTDIR in the way it's designed (which is probably why this was
never noticed when e.g. creating the grep packages.)

Also, knock this off:
