           Summary: make install crashes on libtool install of files in
                    libffi and libjava
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.3
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: other

 GCC build triplet: 3.3
  GCC host triplet: Solaris Sparc 2.7 Generic_106541-23
GCC target triplet: Solaris Sparc 2.7 Generic_106541-23

The Makefile for sparc-sun-solaris2.7/sparcv9/libffi/ and sparc-sun-
solaris2.7/sparcv9/libjava fails when attempting to install files with the 
libtool command.  I will break down the individual issues below.  First we'll 
do libjava

target: install-toolexeclibLTLIBRARIES  on roughly line 3871.  The install 
command is
 $(LIBTOOL)  --mode=install $(INSTALL) $$p $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)/$$p; \

And the value of $INSTALL is
INSTALL = /bin/ksh /export/apps/software_orig/gcc/gcc-3.3/install-sh -c

I also get the same error for target install-binPROGRAMS on roughly line 3940.

When run, this command generates the following style of error when doing a file


libtool: install: `/usr/local/gcc-3.3/lib/sparcv9/lib-org-xml-sax.la' 

is not a directory
Try `libtool --help --mode=install' for more information.
/bin/ksh ./libtool  --mode=install /bin/ksh 

/export/apps/software_orig/gcc/gcc-3.3/install-sh -c lib-org-w3c-dom.la 

/usr/local/gcc-3.3/lib/sparcv9/lib-org-w3c-dom.la
libtool: install: `/usr/local/gcc-3.3/lib/sparcv9/lib-org-w3c-dom.la' 

is not a directory
Try `libtool --help --mode=install' for more information.

Now libffi:

the target = install-toolexeclibLTLIBRARIES on approximately line 436.

The code fragment is as follows

 $(LIBTOOL)  --mode=install $(INSTALL) $$p $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)/$$p; \

where $INSTALL is 

 $(LIBTOOL)  --mode=install $(INSTALL_LIB) $$p $(DESTDIR)$(toolexeclibdir)/$$p; 
\


This gives the same error as for libjava.

I worked around the problem by creating a new INSTALL command $INSTALL_LIB and 
set it equal to "cp" which seemed to fix the problem and libtool was then able 
to install the library.  I also then needed to manually run "make install" in 
each lib directory and remove the targets install-target-libffi and install-
target-libjava from INSTALL_TARGET_MODULES in the primary Makefile.  
  Please let me know if you need any further information.
