   I'm not really sure I understand your question. The example you 
posted should work just fine - using a different install location on 
different OS's.

   I just tested it on a bit different example:

install dist-lib
     :
         xxx.txt
     :
         <link>static:<location>dist-static
         <link>shared:<location>dist-shared ;

   Which correctly copied the xxx.txt file to dist-static in case 
lint=static and to dist-shared in case link=shared.

   Hope this helps.
