    there are/were a number of issues building gcc inside the source  
    directory. Note that this should currently work, but it is not tested  
    very much. Can the submitter of this report please verify if this  
    problem exists with more current versions of gcc (ie 3.2.3). Thanks,
 
 Yes, the problem with install-sh not being found is still there when
 building version 3.2.3.  I have not tested version 3.3 (which came out
 since I started rebuilding gcc).  I don't believe the problem is related to
 building gcc "inside the source directory" - the structure I used then was
 
   source files in /usr2/sys/usr/local/src/gcc/gcc-3.2.2
   build directory in /usr2/sys/usr/local/src/gcc/build322
 
 (as reported by /bin/pwd as opposed to "echo $cwd").  When trying to build
 version 3.2.3, I ran into the path-too-long error (see bootstrap/7555) and
 so moved to a new build directory (with the source directory the same):
 
   /usr2/sys/usr/local/src/b
 
 This time I found a different fix: I edited
 
   /usr2/sys/usr/local/src/b/gcc/intl/Makefile
 
 and changed the line
 
 INSTALL = ../../gcc/gcc-3.2.3/gcc/../install-sh -c
 
 to
 
 INSTALL = ../../../gcc/gcc-3.2.3/gcc/../install-sh -c
 
 (note the extra "../" in the front).  "make install" then completed with no
 errors.
 
 Let me know if you'd like the output from configure, make bootstrap, or
 make install.
