Don't forget to test the case of cross platform installs. You can build on one
platform and install on another with the mounts having the target mounted on the
build machine or the source and object mounted on the target machine after the
build was done on a different architecture.
I believe this patch will not work in all cases. Maybe Marcel can shed some
more light on this issue.
