Feature #6778: cross-compiling convience.

when cross-compiling, using the --prefix and --exec-prefix is not very convience.

using make install will install the file to exec-prefix dir.

But when cross compiling. the exec-prefix is always '/'.

Means install the files to /bin , /lib  etc.

But ran make install on the host. the files will overwrite the host's bin, lib dir.It is a disaster.

So, what about add a option like "Stage DIR" just put the file 'maked' into that dir for cross-compile convinience.
