+Description: Do not run install-exec-hook target avoiding the call of setcap
+
+TODO:
+
+We need to set the capabilities inside of a postinstall script, because
+it is not guaranteed that it is allowed to use setcap on any build host.
+
+install-exec-hook:
+        @if test "x0" = "x$$UID"; then \
+                if test "xLinux" = "x`uname -s`"; then \
+                        echo "Setting CAP_NET_RAW capability on binaries."; \
+                        setcap cap_net_raw=ep $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/oping; \
+                        setcap cap_net_raw=ep $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/noping; \
+                else \
+                        echo "Setting set-UID bit on binaries."; \
+                        chmod u+s $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/oping; \
