Nobori-san,

Arigatou gozaimasu!  Thank you very much.  I'll look in my
port-hpcmips-ja inbox to see if I can find that.

So far the DESTDIR hack is working for me (where I build into a
DESTDIR, and once that's done use the DESTDIR for the binaries to
install into the live system, but that has its problems.
