It doesn't seem to any other way as far as I can tell. We build our embedded SW with a different prefix each time to be able to separate the different builds alongside each other on the target. Each build is performed in a private DESTDIR which will vary depending on the actual arch and product. Setting DESTDIR via some script for one time builds works fine but for repeated build during development where one types make DESTDIR=... manually does not work so well. Ideally one should be able to set DESTDIR during configure but be able to override that by typing make DESTDIR=...
