The change makes it consistent with how the $(inst_libdir)/libc.so
target in Makerules works, so that's fine for now (with ChangeLog
entry, of course).
In the long run, I think we probably want to change things so that
nothing is constructed in place in the installation directories like
that. They should be created locally somewhere and then installed
using a normal $(INSTALL_DATA) command.
Thanks,
Roland
