There is an open gcc bug report for this problem.
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13993
This happens if you configure using a relative pathname on a build
machine that does not have a usable install program.
What happens is that a relative pathname gets written into the toplevel
Makefile for the INSTALL rule. This relative pathname is passed down to
a subdirectory. Then when a subdirectory tries to use it, it of course
fails, because the relative pathname is no longer correct.
Most people don't see this, as most people use machines with a usable
install program.
You can work around this problem by using a full path name for
configure, so that the toplevel Makefile gets an absolute pathname for
the INSTALL rule. Instead of typing ../sources/configure, type
/.../sources/configure.
I suspect we need an autoconf change, to convert the pathname into an
absolute one before it is written into the toplevel Makefile.
