What about:

    -chown -R root $(DESTDIR)$(ltdldatadir) 2>/dev/null
    -chgrp -R root $(DESTDIR)$(ltdldatadir) 2>/dev/null


Has the problem that you see the chown and the chgrp happening, but
neither do they fail nor do you see the failure.  That would strike
me as odd and misleading, but YMMV.

I would rather see that 'make install' is trying to make the files owned by root, and I think that make's `-' syntax is clearer than `|| :'.

I think you are right about 2>/dev/null being bogus though... if the installer see's it fail, then they might be able to fix it up by hand while they wait for us to address their bug report...

Patch to follow.

Cheers,
    Gary.
