That's what I think I've been doing and I "only" get a rel/riak
directory. It's fine tho I'd like to be able to choose where those files
get written instead (and then their actual "tree" to match those
standard in Gentoo).
I tried to patch the Makefile to change the target_dir= of the rel
target with no notable effect, am I missing something ?

I'm happy to hear that this is a goal of yours. I may submit a patch
because some of the bundled libs don't respect users' {C,LD}FLAGS.
