I wouldn't give up just yet.  Just depends on which one is right (5.20
vs 5.20.0).  If 5.20 is ok then the port group could be modified to drop
the last version component if it's zero (I don't think this is right
though).  Otherwise, one needs to go through the generated Makefile and
see how this directory component gets set on install.  Possibly a bug
in that code. But if that's the case, you should be able find an answer
via Google (I haven't look yet).
