Bug #951: "make DESTDIR=... install" creates dirs outside DESTDIR
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/951

Author: Sven Schwyn
Status: Open, Priority: Normal

While working on the Ruby 1.9 ebuilds for Gentoo Prefix on Mac, I came across the following oddity.

With 1.9.1-pre2 the installation to a DESTDIR is not working as expected. While all files are installed correctly below the DESTDIR, one empty directory is created below the filesystem root:

/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/i686-darwin9/

Although not dramatic, this renegade directory triggers a QA error by the Gentoo installer which causes the installation to fail altogether.

I've tried to track down the offending line of code (most likely in instruby.rb), but couldn't find it.
