Whoa, how could this happen?  Wasn't stage1 just `mkdir'ed?

Also, FWIW, g77'c is a link, usually a symbolic one (unless the
system doesn't support those, in which case I assume $(LN_S) expands
to just `ln', unless the system doesn't support that, in which
case I assume it expands to `cp', etc.).

Also, though this should certainly be unrelated, I've run into
problems with `patch' creating empty files (in situations where
that is correct, e.g. a patch that deletes a file) with *no*
access.  Haven't filed a bug report about that, and it's unlikely
what you saw was due to that, but I thought I'd mention it.

        tq vm, (burley)
