This did override INSTALL_ASSERT_H in the generated Makefile.  But doing
this does not prevent the assert.h part of the stanza stmp-fixinc in
Makefile.in from being executed.  It prevents the stanza install-assert-h
from running. It is possible that the path I conditionalized in
Makefile.in should not be there and the install-assert-h stanza alone
should do the install of assert.h.  This would also fix the problem.  

My impression was that something was inconsistent in the way the
INSTALL_ASSERT_H feature was installed.

I felt uncomfortable removing the assert.h code from stmp-fixinc since
this impacted every target.  If you are more comfortable doing that, I am
happy with that solution.  If that is the intent, it is the more correct
solution.
