Make install problems

[Laurent Duperval <laurent dot duperval at netergynet dot com>]

Hi,

My standard way of installing software is to do a 

make install prefix=foo exec-prefix=foo

It usually works but it fails with the latest CVS stuff (or at any rate, what
I got this afternoon from CVS). This is an exerpt of the install process (I'm not 
sure if this is gdb only or not):

/bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local/soft/insight-5.0/run/default/i686_pc_linux_gnu /usr/local/soft/insight-5.0/run/default/i686_pc_linux_gnu
