"make install" fails when doing a manual bootstrap

[Matt_Conway at i2 dot com]

If I use a relative path when configuring like so:

md go; cd go
../gcc-3.0/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-3.0

I get the following error when running "make install" after performing a 
manual booststrap.  If I configure using an absolute path to configure, I 
have no problems doing a manual bootstrap then install.
The Makefile in the libsupc++ directory looks correct, but something is 
overriding its value for INSTALL to an invalid value (one too few on the 
'..'s)
