There are a lot of things in my build script, but it should be done to
this:
git clone
./configure --enable-systemd --other-stuff
export MAKEFLAGS="-j24"
edit .config to use local git tree
make

And later in the process, a `make install` is called but the faillure
is before that.

It look like hotplug stuff are done like that:
make[2]: Entering directory '/build/xen-unstable/src/xen-unstable/tools'
make -C hotplug install

then calling make install on other subdir.
And after entering tools/Linux, I can see both rules "all" and
"install" been called on systemd directory (unfortunatly, at the same
time on this machine).


I think the problem is in tools/Linux/Makefile, where we have:
all: subdirs-all
install: all subdirs-install

Maybe the "install" rules should depend only on the things it need to
install, and not an "all".
