When I built binutils with
../binutils-2.15/configure --prefix=/u/jbuck/gnu.sol2
The "make install" step failed, because the generated Makefile had INSTALL
set to
INSTALL = ../binutils-2.15/install-sh -c
but $(INSTALL) is invoked from a subdirectory. I successfully worked around
this by saying
make INSTALL="/u/jbuck/gnu/src/binutils-2.15/install-sh -c" install
I could also have worked around it by providing an absolute path to
configure, I think.
The configure process should have either generated an absolute path to
install-sh, or corrected it appropriately for subdirectories.
