Thanks for the prompt fix :)

The new install-reloc works correctly on GNU/kFreeBSD :

  test -z "/usr/games" || /bin/mkdir -p 
"/usr/src/freedink-1.08.20120427/debian/freedink-engine/usr/games"
   RELOC_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR=LD_LIBRARY_PATH RELOC_LIBRARY_PATH_VALUE= 
RELOC_PREFIX=/usr 
RELOC_DESTDIR=/usr/src/freedink-1.08.20120427/debian/freedink-engine 
RELOC_COMPILE_COMMAND=gcc -g -O2 -Wall -std=c99 -I/usr/include/SDL 
-D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -D_REENTRANT  RELOC_SRCDIR=../gnulib/lib 
RELOC_BUILDDIR=../gnulib/lib RELOC_CONFIG_H_DIR=.. RELOC_EXEEXT= 
RELOC_STRIP_PROG=: RELOC_INSTALL_PROG=/usr/bin/install -c 
../autotools/install-reloc freedink freedinkedit 
'/usr/src/freedink-1.08.20120427/debian/freedink-engine/usr/games'
  /usr/bin/install -c freedink freedinkedit 
/usr/src/freedink-1.08.20120427/debian/freedink-engine/usr/games

Note, though, that FreeDink does not have its own libraries, to
install-reloc is just invoking 'install'.  This didn't test the path
where install-reloc installs the wrapper.

I'll try on Debian/Hurd when I have the environment ready.

Cheers!
