My earlier post falls into the embarrassing, wish that I hadn't category. To prevent anyone wasting effort, I'm replying.

make distribution DESTDIR=/newplace
requires a 
make world DESTDIR=/newplace
as a prerequisite.  

The earlier post, caused me to believe that there was an error in /usr/bin/install, when using:
make distribution DESTDIR=/differentplace
The granularity of my testing was inappropriate. Apologies for the distraction.
