I just looked at ltmain.sh from 1.4.3 and there is no DESTDIR.
1.4.3 solved it in a different way, using a patch based either partially or fully on work done by Ossama Othman (I think). It adds an argument "-inst-prefix-dir" that gets passed to libtool during the relink that happens during install. It all happens automatically, so there's nothing new that a package builder needs to worry about. 1.4.3 has been working relatively well for me, for the majority of packages I've built with it. I use BuildRoot installs exclusively.
