Re: xfsprogs: 7.1.0 Build Failure

I think the root issue here is that something (install-sh?) is
checking for the existence of the output directory in the buildroot
itself. In AerynOS the buildroot is an isolated chroot with the
minimal set of required dependencies/toolchain packages installed.
Since there's no reason for xfsprogs to be installed in the case of
AerynOS the directory `/usr/lib/xfsprogs` does not exist. Instead it
should be checking for the directory in the installroot where it
should exist because it was created prior to the install step that
failed.

I'm not sure where to fix that specifically but
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AerynOS/recipes/refs/heads/main/x/xfsprogs/pkg/0001-Maybe-fix.patch
is a viable workaround for the moment.
