Re: Autoconf 2.55 "make install" failure on Solaris 9 (sparc)

| This is a regression from Autoconf 2.54c.  Here are the symptoms of

| 
|       /bin/bash ../config/mkinstalldirs /tmp/prefix/bin
|       mkdir -p -- /tmp/prefix/bin
|        ../config/install-sh -c autom4te /tmp/prefix/bin/autom4te
|       bash: ../config/install-sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
|       *** Error code 126
|       make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-binSCRIPTS'
|       Current working directory /tmp/src/autoconf-2.55/bin
|       *** Error code 1
|       make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-am'
|       Current working directory /tmp/src/autoconf-2.55/bin
|       *** Error code 1
|       make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-recursive'
| 
| The fix is to "chmod a+x config/install-sh" by hand.

Arg :(  Thanks Paul.  I'm releasing 2.56 now.

| I'm not sure how this happened; perhaps during the release process?

Yes, when install-sh has been updated from CVS Automake.  I don't know
how to fix this issue cleanly.  Maybe move-if-change should preserve
the destination rights?  Maybe instead of `mv old new' we should `cat
old >new'?
