Comment (by khyperia):

 Replying to [comment:6 thoughtpolice]:
 > Thank you! This patch unfortunately doesn't quite work on Linux yet when
 running 'make install' from a binary distribution. I'll get it going in my
 tree again to see if I can fix it.

 I think I might know the reason.

 I reference "$1/$2/$$($1_$2_PROG)" in the install rule (in the patch),
 where I should have referenced "$$($1_$2_INPLACE)". Try switching it and
 seeing if it works.

 (I was unsure of which variable to use, so I guessed - apparently wrongly)

 If that doesn't work... I guess just try various variables for that rule,
 I'm confused by the mass of dollar signs everywhere and I'm unsure of what
 variable is what.

 I'm at work currently and cannot try the change myself.
