`install-sh' comes from Automake and the install make rules are 
generated by Automake. 'install-sh --help' claims 'install-sh SRCFILES 
DIRECTORY' will copy all SRCFILES to DIRECTORY, and this is the behavior 
I experienced on darwin with version 2009-04-28.31. If you experience 
something different, I think it should be reported to address@hidden

Which version of install-sh are you using and which version of GSL is it 
you fail installing?
