Thanks for your help. "My project" involves checking system rules on open
source software (that means software distributed by gentoo).

Hence, any project that calls install -s will be troublesome for me.
Anyways, I really appreciate your help. In case you have any suggestions
on how to get around the install -s problem, that would be great!
