"Fedora's RPM includes a %makeinstall macro but it must NOT
be used when
^^^^
"should"?
make install DESTDIR=%{buildroot} will work. %makeinstall is a
kludge
that can work with broken Makefiles that don't make use of the DESTDIR
variable but it has the following potential issues:"
What if it doesn't have those issues in a particular case?
Also, I'm not sure it's particularly fair to use the term "broken" for
makefiles which don't include a DESTDIR variable. As far as I'm aware,
that's not a _requirement_ for a makefile -- just a handy convention.
