 I configured gcc 3.3 three ways and can't see any difference
 in the results when compared to gcc 3.2.1 configuration.
 
 In my three gcc 3.3 configure runs only one that used an absolute
 path to the configure script in the gcc 3.3 source subdirectory
 from a subdirectory outside gcc-3.3 properly set the INSTALL string
 of .../gcc/intl/Makefile.
 
 The two relative path configure runs I made, in-source and
 relative-to-source, both produced the same incorrect path in the
 INSTALL string of .../gcc/intl/Makefile.
 
 More specifically, here's what I tried:
 
 1. I downloaded gcc-3.3.tar.gz on Thursday May 15.  It has
    these ls and md5 footprints:
 
    -rw-r--r-- 1 abe pucc 31046469 May 15 10:55 gcc-3.3.tar.gz
    MD5 (gcc-3.3.tar.gz) = 59a99a15c24a1519d057a7b94f00e8f2
 
 2. I gunzip'd and extracted the 3.3 archive, changed to the
    extracted directory and ran `./configure ...`.  Here is
    the incorrect INSTALL string from gcc-3.3/gcc/intl/Makefile:
 
 	$ grep "^INSTALL = " gcc/intl/Makefile
 	INSTALL = ./../install-sh -c
 	$ (cd gcc/intl; ls -l ./../install-sh) 
 	./../install-sh: No such file or directory
 
    Note: in addition to `./configure ...` I also tried simply
          `configure ...` and there was no difference in the
          INSTALL string of gcc/intl/Makefile.
 
 3. I gunzip'd and extracted the 3.3 archive again, made a
    gcc-3.3-exrel subdirectory ("exrel" for outside the source
    directory, relative path to configure) and ran
    `./gcc-3.3/configure ...`.  Here is the incorrect INSTALL
    string from gcc-3.3-exrel/gcc/intl/Makefile:
 
 	$ grep "^INSTALL = " gcc/intl/Makefile
 	INSTALL = ../../gcc-3.3/gcc/../install-sh -c
 	$ (cd gcc/intl; ls -l ../../gcc-3.3/gcc/../install-sh)
 	../../gcc-3.3/gcc/../install-sh: No such file or directory
 
 4. I gunzip'd and extracted the 3.3 archive again, made a
    gcc-3.3-exabs subdirectory ("exabs" for outside the source
    directory, absolute path to configure) and ran
    `/export/home/abe/gnu/gcc-3.3/configure ...`.  Here is the
    correct INSTALL string from
    /export/home/abe/gnu/gcc-3.3-exabs/intl/Makefile:
 
 	$ grep "^INSTALL = " gcc/intl/Makefile
 	INSTALL = /export/home/abe/gnu/gcc-3.3/gcc/../install-sh -c
 	$ ls -l /export/home/abe/gnu/gcc-3.3/gcc/../install-sh
 	-rwxr-xr-x 1 abe pucc 5598 Jan 25  2002 \
 	/export/home/abe/gnu/gcc-3.3/gcc/../install-sh*
 
 I have script(1) output for each configure attempt, should you
 want it.
 
 What other information can I supply?
