Re: if_igb.ko symbolic link generation is still messed up in that it hard wires the path at installkernel time, messing up copying to other places

Yes, when making symlinks in presence of DESTDIR, the src should have
$DESTDIR removed - the following should usually be safe:

ln -s ${src#$DESTDIR} $DESTDIR${target#$DESTDIR}
