Cannot build C/ObjC on TOT...

[Ziemowit Laski <zlaski at apple dot com>]

The TOT as of this writing (and the objc-improvements-merge-20030721  
tag I created earlier
in the day) is now failing when the following sequence of commands is  
issued:

../../../src/gcc/HEAD/gcc/configure --prefix  
/home/zlaski/fsf/dst/gcc/HEAD --disable-checking  
--enable-languages=c,objc
make 'CFLAGS=-O0 -g3'
make install

The failure looks as follows:

/bin/sh ../../../src/gcc/HEAD/gcc/mkinstalldirs  
/home/zlaski/fsf/dst/gcc/HEAD /home/zlaski/fsf/dst/gcc/HEAD
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/zlaski/fsf/obj/gcc/HEAD/gcc'
for file in cc1  cc1obj; do \
  if [ -f $file ] ; then \
    rm -f  
/home/zlaski/fsf/dst/gcc/HEAD/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4/$file; \
    /usr/bin/install -c $file  
/home/zlaski/fsf/dst/gcc/HEAD/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4/$file; \
  else true; \
  fi; \
done
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file  
`/home/zlaski/fsf/dst/gcc/HEAD/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4/cc1':  
No such file or directory
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file  
`/home/zlaski/fsf/dst/gcc/HEAD/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4/ 
cc1obj': No such file or directory

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/zlaski/fsf/obj/gcc/HEAD/gcc'
make: *** [install-gcc] Error 2

This is on RedHat Linux 8.0, and used to work a few days ago.  I tried  
the above fragment by hand, and discovered that

  (1) /usr/bin/install will succeed if the  
/home/zlaski/fsf/dst/gcc/HEAD/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4/ folder  
exists, and
  (2) the mkinstallhdrs script (or its minions) appears to nuke that  
very folder.

Initially, I had a vague suspicion about the following recent check-in:

  2003-07-20  Phil Edwards  <pme@gcc.gnu.org>

        * install-sh:  Update to newer upstream versions (associated  
with
        aclocal 1.7).
        * mkinstalldirs:  Likewise.
        * missing:  Likewise, plus $1Help2man -> $1 typo fix.

However, reverting it locally did not do the trick... :-(

Thanks in advance for any clues.
