Oops.  Fixed now.

The "install_target" target was removed since there was no reason
to duplicate the install.  The "install_runtime" target works
properly, regardless of what one happens to do with the runtime
libs after installation.

To install to multiple locations (such as once to the host
system, and once to a target system), one should simply run the
"install_runtime" target multiple times with PREFIX and other
values changed as needed, i.e.

    make PREFIX=$(STAGING_DIR) install_dev install_runtime
    make PREFIX=$(TARGET_DIR) install_runtime install_utils
