No, there is no way to do this. We cannot add one "installation path"
option to each of the 1500 packages we have in Buildroot.
The options are:
* Move things around in a post-build script, if the thing can be moved
after compilation.
* Adjust the package .mk file to your needs.
Best regards,
Thomas Petazzoni
