glapi/libdricore linking trouble with make install targets

[Andreas Radke]

When building packages in ArchLinux we try to avoid the old
bin/minstall to move each and every file by hand. So we try to move to
make install targets. Here we run into several linking issues:

  make -C src/glx DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install

fails with:

make[2]: Entering directory `/build/src/mesa-41d14eaf193c6b1eb87fe1998808a887f1c6c698/src/glx'

Similar errors happen with other targets. Our community found
a workaround by running this:

  # fix linking because of splitted package
  make -C src/mapi/shared-glapi DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install

  # libGL & libdricore
  make -C src/glx DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install
  make -C src/mesa/libdricore DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install
  
  # fix linking because of splitted package - cleanup
  make -C src/mapi/shared-glapi DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" uninstall



Such step seems to be needed for these other target directories:

* make -C src/egl DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install
* make -C src/gbm DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install

Similar issues seem to be there when trying to install the driver targets (intel, ati and nouveau),
the workaround seems to be then:

  # fix linking because of splitted package
  make -C src/mesa/libdricore DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install

  make -C src/mesa/drivers/dri/i915 DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install
  make -C src/mesa/drivers/dri/i965 DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install

  # fix linking because of splitted package - cleanup
  make -C src/mesa/libdricore DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" uninstall


Can't these targets do proper linking on their own?
