Doesn't look like destdir would work here because --prefix is the final 
directory according to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11307465 but 
$DISTDIR (where 0compile docs say to put the result in) is 
/private/var/folders/ff/m6cylxhd2csdz9fh62g3djtm0000gq/T/0compile-T8poWD/gcc-any-any 
instead of e.g. 
$HOME/.local/share/0install.net/site-packages/file/$home..__0inst-test__lfs__gcc_gcc.xml/5.2.0-x86_64/. 
Why wouldn't $DISTDIR point to final location? Since I can probably 
guess where gcc would end up at this hack might work: $SRCDIR/configure 
--prefix=/final/path/guess ... && make && make DESTDIR=$DISTDIR install. 
Is there a way to find out where 0compile will move things after 
compilation?
