  No, I'm just doing "./configure", "make" and "make install" from
toplevel (gcc) directory. INSTALL_* values are sent from Makefile in
libstdc++-v3 directory to Makefiles in libstdc++-v3 subdirectories as
command line parameters in AM_MAKEFLAGS variable. In subdirectories,
Makefiles re-define INSTALL_* variables to correct values, but make
takes incorrect INSTALL_* values from toplevel Makefile.

  Yes, I was doing ./configure in toplevel directory. And ./configure
worked OK, "make" worked OK, but "make install" failed in libstdc++-v3.
Funny thig is, that sun's "make install" worked, and gcc was
instaled and worked OK with posted patch. I will try with recommended way
of building gcc.

  BTW: I would suggest some kind of warning in ./configure stage if
objdir==srcdir. People (like me), who are not familiar with gcc build
process will try to ./configure gcc from toplevel source dir (where most
other programs are configured before compilation).

  Thanks for your answer!
