Of course you don’t. You’re just needing to set SHLIBDIR explicitly
for this specific use case.

That’s correct of course, except…

… ah. Like that.

So you want klibc to be installed in /opt/klibc on both host and target
*except* the shared library which you want in /lib on target only? How
perverted is that? What kind of magic do you expect here?

Common setup would be to either expect the shlib in /opt/klibc/lib on
the target either or to install into a DESTDIR. I suggest that, unless
you can change your requirements:

if d=$(mktemp -d /opt/klibc.XXXXXXXXXX); then
	set -e
	make prefix=/opt/klibc
	make INSTALLROOT="$d" prefix=/opt/klibc install
	mkdir -p /opt/klibc/lib
	mv "$d"/lib/klibc-*.so /opt/klibc/lib/
	mv "$d"/opt/klibc/* /opt/klibc/*
	rm -rf "$d"
	set +e
else
	echo >&2 'E: Cannot create temporary directory!'
fi
