OK, the first is a native one, so it goes to $exec_prefix, say:
/usr/lib. The second one is a cross one, so it goes to
$exec_prefix/$target_alias, say: /usr/mipsel-linux/lib. Finally, the last
one is a cross one, too, so it goes to $exec_prefix/$target_alias, say:
/usr/mipsel-linux/lib -- oops! -- the second one just got overwritten...
