Running the 'python.test' with the attached patch passes! but I had a look
at the package that had the original problem and the line just isn't there.

For reference the package build log are available at:
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/misc/sbd/reports/Linux-x86_64/20120304.1324/usrp-3.3.0nb4/

The build process rebuilds the autoconf and automake files before running
the configure script.

Its possible to tell that it doesn't get defined by the line in 'install.log':
"/bin/sh: line 15: --destdir: command not found"

The problem goes away if the attached patch is applied.
