/usr/bin/install problem or what is the coreutils deal?

[Gerrit P. Haase]

Hello,

recently upgraded another box to the latest greates of all the stuff:

$ cygcheck -c coreutils
Cygwin Package Information

coreutils            5.3.0-9        OK


$ mkdir .inst && make install DESTDIR=/j/GNUCash/g-wrap-1.9.6/.inst

Note the hint: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.
And then, the file ffi.h is installed ok, then the second file is not
found, because it is a symlink?

It is right there:

$ ls -l /j/GNUCash/g-wrap-1.9.6/libffi/include/*.h

$ ls -l /j/GNUCash/g-wrap-1.9.6/libffi/include/.././src/x86/ffitarget.h
-rw-r--r--  1 gerrit Domänen-Admins 2580 Sep 27  2004 /j/GNUCash/g-wrap-1.9.6/libffi/include/.././src/x86/ffitarget.h


What is the deal?
