Subject: Re:  installation fails for many target libraries
 using CONFIG_SHELL

If I modify the top level Makefile immediately after running configure 
and make the following change

#INSTALL = $(SHELL) $$s/install-sh -c
INSTALL = $$s/install-sh -c

The calls to libtool while installing libffi.la and other files work 
properly.  I believe nothing else is effected and this will simply run 
as the shell of the installer process.  As long as this is /bin/ksh or 
bash then it seems to behave properly.  Hope this helps.
