The install directory for libraries is not lib/ in all cases.
This breaks the ABI generation for gcc-shared:

DESTDIR=/home/dmarchan/abi/v20.02/build-gcc-shared ninja -C
/home/dmarchan/abi/v20.02/build install >/dev/null
rm: cannot remove
'/home/dmarchan/abi/v20.02/build-gcc-shared/usr/local/lib/*.a': No
such file or directory

$ ls ~/abi/v20.02/build-gcc-shared/usr/local/
bin  include  lib64  share
