You could just link files instead of copying them. They would have to be hardlinks, not symlinks, but it wouldn't need to be copied wholesale as long as its on the same partition.

ucommon-config

ucommon-config(1)						   GNU Telephony						 ucommon-config(1)

NAME

       ucommon-config - script to get information about ucommon library

SYNOPSIS

       ucommon-config [options]

DESCRIPTION

       ucommon-config  is a tool that is used to configure to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link pro-
       grams that use the ucommon library.  Note: ucommon-config is provided for compatibility with legacy software only.  Current projects should
       use pkg-config instead!

OPTIONS

       --version
	      Print the currently installed version of ucommon on the standard output.

       --secure
	      Print additional libraries needed to link a program with ucommonsecurecrytographiclibrary

       --scripting
	      Print additional linker flags needed to link a program with ucommonscriptlibrary

       --includes
	      Print the include directory for ucommonheaders

       --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program with ucommon

       --plugins
	      Print the directory for ucommonplugins

       --cflags
	      Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program with ucommon

       --prefix=PREFIX
	      If  specified,  use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that ucommon was built with when computing the output for the --cflags
	      and --libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must  be  specified
	      before any --libs or --cflags options.

       --exec-prefix=PREFIX
	      If  specified,  use  PREFIX  instead  of	the installation exec prefix that ucommon was built with when computing the output for the
	      --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.
