Why don't you use the offical call:

	cd ${B}
	cyginstall

It sets -j as well as DESTDIR automatically.

Ignoring the below comment for now... what?

So you remove the exact same file you installed with dodoc?

You only explain what you expect, but left out the interesting point
what actually happens.  Also, its questionable that `dodoc foo; rm foo'
is the way to go here...

I don't think so.  If you want the script to perform extra steps you
need to create src_install.
