'make install' fails with the following error:

tar cf - pcblib-newlib | (cd //opt/geda/share/pcb && tar -xf -)
/bin/sh: line 0: cd: //opt/geda/share/pcb: No such file or directory

On Windows, "//" has a special meaning: a network folder. It is looking 
for a shared geda folder on the 'opt' machine...

The patch below solves it for me. Note that DESTDIR already contains a 
trailing slash.

No, I didn't see the message.
