+The sylpheed headers are installed to the target directory,
+creating full staging directory path in the target rootfs,
+which is wrong.
+This happens because the headers are installed to
+$(DESTDIR)$(includedir), while DESTDIR is set to
+$(TARGET_DIR) and includedir is $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/include.
+
+Remove $(DESTDIR) from the include paths in the Makefile
+to have sylpheed install its headers to staging include
+directory instead.
