For what it's worth, I set up separated builds as part of the
Debian packaging work with several 3.14.12.x, and now 3.15.x.
Manually copying EpicsHostArch was necessary, but as I recall
that was the only additional copying which was required.

Another issue I have encountered is clobbering of configure/RULES
if two installs were done directly to the same directory.  This can
be avoided by using a temporary directory as INSTALL_LOCATION,
and also setting FINAL_LOCATION to where the tree will eventually
be placed.  Then the conflicting configure/* are not copied.


Also, I have a functional, but incomplete, side-project to make
fully relocatable Linux builds.  Meaning that the built executables
and shared libraries can be copied and run from any location as long
as their relative locations are preserved.
