we have to fiddle with MAKE anyway so probably this is
approach is cleaner.

maybe have a RECURSIVE_MAKEFLAGS or similar in toplevel
config.mak (with the caveat that it will be passed to
every make)

output/lib64 can be eliminated by
COMMON_CONFIG += --libdir=/lib

output/x86_64-linux-musl/lib64 install path is trickier:
it is controlled by the $toolexeclibdir make variable.
which is set according to $CC -print-multi-os-directory
which is controlled by multilib and multilib_defaults from
$CC -dumpspecs which comes from multilib.h generated by
genmultilib based on parameters from config/i386/t-linux64

the code is currently broken (missing includes and uses secure_getenv)

yes, gcc info files are not installed if it's set
