I think the only upstream project that outright reject patches to
install on BSD based systems was udev - their argument (which is fair
enough I suppose) is that their project is GNU/Linux only - stressing
the GNU part. They have also indicated in the past that they might use
more GNUisms, as found in glibc, bash and other tools.

Here's a solution for your Makefiles though

install -D /foo/bar/this

becomes

install -d /foo/bar
install this /foo/bar

True enough I suppose

Thanks
