bootstrap fails, can not find install-sh or install.sh in [...]

	I don't know if this has been reported before, but when I build
egcs on sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4 or mips-sgi-irix6.2, I get the following
error:

configure: error: can not find install-sh or install.sh in . ./.. ./../..
make[1]: *** [configure-target-libf2c] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/a/caip/a47/u47/ghazi/gcc-testing/sunos-test/egcs-CV
S19981002'
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 1

	This is happening because the test for install-sh in configure
looks in "$srcdir $srcdir/.. $srcdir/../.." but the location we are in
is three levels deep in e.g. sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4/pic/libf2c.

	The directory checks in AC_PROG_INSTALL are probably hardcoded
in autoconf, so its probably easier to fix something locally.  Perhaps
adding symlinks from the currect directory to install-sh in the top
level directory would work.  However I'm not knowledgable enough in the
multilib stuff to hack this up right away.  Can someone help?
