Installation problem in CVS head

I did

make -f Makefile.cvs kde3
./configure --prefix=/home/peter/devel/rekall/install # (nonexisting directory)
make
make install

and the last step stops like so:

...
/usr/bin/install -c -p -m 644 chap14.sgml /home/peter/devel/rekall/install/share/doc/HTML/en/rekall/chap14.sgml
/usr/bin/install -c -p -m 644 chap15.sgml /home/peter/devel/rekall/install/share/doc/HTML/en/rekall/chap15.sgml
/usr/bin/install -c -p -m 644 chap16.sgml /home/peter/devel/rekall/install/share/doc/HTML/en/rekall/chap16.sgml
/usr/bin/install -c -p -m 644 index.docbook /home/peter/devel/rekall/install/share/doc/HTML/en/rekall/index.docbook
/usr/bin/install -c -p -m 644 help.xsl /home/peter/devel/rekall/install/share/doc/HTML/en/rekall/help.xsl
/bin/sh ../../admin/mkinstalldirs /home/peter/devel/rekall/install/share/doc/HTML/en/rekall
/usr/bin/install -c -p -m 644 index.cache.bz2 /home/peter/devel/rekall/install/share/doc/HTML/en/rekall/
rm -f /home/peter/devel/rekall/install/share/doc/HTML/en/rekall/common
cp -a /home/peter/devel/rekall/install/share/doc/HTML/en/common /home/peter/devel/rekall/install/share/doc/HTML/en/rekall/common
cp: cannot stat `/home/peter/devel/rekall/install/share/doc/HTML/en/common': No such file or directory

I see you're setting

LN_S = cp -a

in the makefile.  I'm confused.
