make install on Solaris 2.6

[craig@jcb-sc.com]

Not sure if anyone got back to you.  This bug report kinda bounced
around a bit, and we might have lost track of it for awhile, but
in the end I think we decided we'd rather not incorporate this patch
into egcs, because it'd just be working around a version of `make',
which you're using, that doesn't properly support VPATH.  If we
tried to make all of egcs support buggy VPATH implementations in
`make', from what I understand, we'd not get much else done.

Apparently one of the recommended solutions is to use GNU `make'.
Look for `gmake-version.tar.gz' at a GNU distribution site, though
I don't know offhand what the latest `version' is.  Sometimes people
install it as `gmake' or `gnumake' instead of `make' -- you might
already have a recent version installed.
