I guess I'm doing something wrong, or not enough.  "make install" is
failing after a bootstrap build because the build/fixincludes directory
is empty.  Edited for brevity: 

$ make -C build-boot/ V=1 install
make: Entering directory '.../build-boot'
make[1]: Entering directory '.../build-boot'
/bin/bash ../mkinstalldirs /usr/local/gcc-cobol /usr/local/gcc-cobol
make[2]: Entering directory '.../build-boot/fixincludes'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'install'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory '.../build-boot/fixincludes'
make[1]: *** [Makefile:4193: install-fixincludes] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '.../build-boot'
make: *** [Makefile:2710: install] Error 2
make: Leaving directory '.../build-boot'

$ for D in build*/fixincludes
  do 
    printf "$D: %d files\n" $(ls $D | wc -l)
  done 
build-02/fixincludes: 18 files
build-boot/fixincludes: 0 files
build/fixincludes: 18 files

Until recently I always used --disable-bootstrap because faster.
Lately because of the discomfort of my own petard I have added
--enable-bootstrap to my repertoire.  The build succeeds, but leaves
the fixincludes directory empty, which means "make install" fails.  I
thought the issue was confined to building on macOS, but today discover
it's true (as above) on Ubuntu x86_64.  

The configure invocation is nothing special: 

$ head build-boot/config.log  | grep /configure
 $ ../configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-cobol
--disable-generated-files-in-srcdir --disable-multilib
--enable-checking --enable-languages=c,cobol

These are branches based on master, updated as of yesterday.  (I have
other examples without --disable-generated-files-in-srcdir.)

A comparison of the mentions of "fixinclude" in config.{status,log} of
two directories, bootstrap and non-bootstrap, shows no difference.  

What should I be looking for?
