I see other occurences which could be replaced:
.ci/linux-build.sh: [ -d install ] || DESTDIR=$(pwd)/install ninja -C build install
devtools/test-meson-builds.sh: echo "DESTDIR=$2 $ninja_cmd -C $1 install" >&$verbose
devtools/test-meson-builds.sh: DESTDIR=$2 $ninja_cmd -C $1 install >&$veryverbose
doc/guides/nics/mlx4.rst: ninja install
doc/guides/platform/mlx5.rst: ninja install
