This single character change enables $DESTBINDIR to be set by the user.

I use Nix to manage Erlang installations, which results in my inability to use the default $DESTBINDIR, for some reason, and thus make install fails.

With this change, the following works for me in fish shell:

env DESTBINDIR=/usr/local/bin make install

This shouldn't have any negative consequences for "normal" users and might be helpful to others as well.
