It can be applied only to the "install" stage.  If applied to the
"build" stage, it will break it because "build" internally uses
"install" to install libraries to a temporary place (${WORLDTMP})
so the other programs/libraries can link against them.  See your
/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp{,/usr}/lib for details (for a canonical mix
of /usr/src and /usr/obj).
