Yes, considering what we have in the autotools package infrastructure
right now.

However, I find our usage of those variables in the infrastructure a
bit weird:

 - We use <pkg>_MAKE_OPTS only during the build

 - We use <pkg>_INSTALL_{TARGET,STAGING}_OPTS at install time, with a
   default value of DESTDIR=$(..._DIR) install, which has sometimes
   caused some issues as people forgot about it.

Maybe we should use <pkg>_MAKE_OPTS also at install time?

Best regards,

Thomas
