[Bug ada/13572] New: Inappropriate files installed in $(prefix)/share/make/

["jsm28 at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

GCC 3.4 installs inappropriate files Makefile.generic and Makefile.prolog
in $(prefix)/share/make/.

(a) They need licence notices, not just copyright notices, as otherwise
they must be presumed undistributable and shouldn't be in GCC at all.

(b) They get installed in $(prefix)/share/make.  There are two problems
with this.  First, the names of the files and the directory are rather
too generic for that; $(prefix)/share/gnat or $(prefix)/share/ada might be
better to make clear where they come from.  Second, --datadir is a 
supported configure option, so $(datadir) should be used instead of 
$(prefix)/share.  (File with such generic names should only go in
$(datadir)/make if they really were generic files from GNU make
rather than some other package; otherwise any number of packages might
equally well try to claim those names.)
