Comment (by dcoutts@xxxxxxxxxx):

 Just to note what we do with Gentoo (which isn't ideal):

 For configure we use the normal stuff.

 Then for install we use:
 {{{
 make -j1 ${insttarget} \
         prefix="${D}/usr" \
         datadir="${D}/usr/share/doc/${PF}" \
         infodir="${D}/usr/share/info" \
         mandir="${D}/usr/share/man" \
         libdir0="${D}/usr/$(get_libdir)"
 # the libdir0 setting is needed for amd64, and does not
 # harm for other arches
 }}}

 And this still doesn't quite work because the temporary ${D} path gets
 baked into ghcprof and we have to fix that up using sed.
 {{{
 #need to remove ${D} from ghcprof script
 sed -i -e 's:$FPTOOLS_TOP_ABS:#$FPTOOLS_TOP_ABS:' "${D}/usr/bin/ghcprof"
 }}}

 Ideally if DESTDIR were supported then we'd just do:
 {{{
 make -j1 ${insttarget} DESTDIR="${D}"
 }}}

 Note that for some reason we need this hack while building:
 {{{
 make all datadir="/usr/share/doc/${PF}"
 # the explicit datadir is required to make the haddock entries
 # in the package.conf file point to the right place ...
 }}}
 That was for 6.4.1, I don't know if it's still needed in 6.4.2.
