You may want to install them into $(PREFIX)/bin rather than
$(PREFIX)/$(TARGET)/bin. Or install them into the latter and
symlink to the former. That way, the tools are in your PATH.

However, don't forget to _always_ prefix their file name with
"$(TARGET)-". The $(PREFIX)/bin/ directory should never contain
unprefixed files.

SHORT_VERSION is a separate macro because it is the most
complicated one. The other variants are usually written
directly, i.e. inline. In your case, the variant as found
in freeglut.mk should do the trick:

$(PKG)_SUBDIR   := freeglut-$(word 1,$(subst -, ,$($(PKG)_VERSION)))

I find that quite readable as "the first word after splitting
by the '-' character". That's why I kept it that way and didn't
introduce a helper macro.
