There is $(INSTALL_HEADER) defined by automake.

There is also $(HEADERS).

And there are targets like "install-includehurdHEADERS" which are run
by targets like "install-data-am" and "install-data".

Actually, install-data is supposed to be platform independent, which
header files generally are not, so it is kind of bogus to have the
header files installed by install-data.  But anyway, maybe
"install-data" is already good enough, if you can run it without
building anything.  Maybe you can check this out?

For the cleanest solution (or if install-data doesn't work), I would
really like to see an install-header target supported natively by
automake.

Well, even the Makefiles don't exist until you run configure.  Running
configure is an OK prerequisite for "make install-header".  The
important thing is that "make install-header" succeeds before glibc is
built and installed.
