I'm not sure what you're trying to do here. Install headers to
$(TARGET_DIR) is perfectly fine, they get cleaned up at the end of the
build during the target-finalize step. Essentially all libraries
install everything to $(TARGET_DIR): headers, static library, shared
library, pkg-config files, documentation, and what is not needed on the
target gets cleaned up by the logic in target-finalize.

We don't want to hack each and every package so that it doesn't install
its headers or static library to $(TARGET_DIR). We very much prefer to
use the existing "make install" logic of packages, and have a common,
shared, logic in target-finalize to do the cleanup.

Or did I miss the purpose of this particular patch?

Thanks!

Thomas
