Attached is a patch that does that.  I've tested it for the mips
cross-compilation case using "libs install-dev" as target and a regular
installation (no cross-compilation) on linux/x86.  Both seem to work as
expected.

I've updated the wiki docs to suggest "install" instead of "libs
install-dev" (and the expected generated tree).

Notice that this wiki change doesn't need to be merged into git's manual
if we fix the build system (I know it'll be hard to remember, but I just
thought it should be mentioned anyway).  It's just a workaround to match
the current chicken's build system behavior.

Best wishes.
Mario
