We do nothing funny in our configure script or Makefile.am files
relative to the 'install' target of generated makefiles. Whatever we
get is whatever 'automake' decides is appropriate to generate. So in
case there is something blatantly wrong this should most likely be
directed to the automake mailing list.

Are you attempting to run 'make-install' in the cross compiling
environment or in the actual destination machine? I believe that it is
in the cross compiling environment in order to allow other build
processes to locate the cross compiled library.

Are you using '--prefix' when running configure?

Are you setting DESTDIR environment variable before running 'make install'?
