+=== No /usr ===
+
+Just like BeOS, Haiku does not have /usr.
+Attempts to install things to /usr will usually fail and leave empty folders, because rootfs only allows creating directories, not regular files.
+
+A quick hack is to create a usr somewhere and symlink to /usr, but it is discouraged.
+
+The proper fix is to use --prefix=/boot/common (or make sure it defaults to /boot/common for Haiku).
