Second thoughts, it doesn't suffice to add - in front of some of
the failing targets. Either Makefiles need to be fixed or
install program needs to be fixed.

/bin/install can actually be considered broken in latest
gentoo. I checked install, and earlier versions used to 
politely complain about this whereas latest version bails out.

This probably breaks a _lot_ of Makefiles.   Not just erlang
but probably many others too. !!



# rh 8.0 > install --version 
install (fileutils) 4.1.9 
# rh 8.0 > touch b; install b b /tmp 
install: warning: overwriting just-created `/tmp/b' with `b' 


And then gentoo. 

# gentoo > install --version 
install (fileutils) 4.1.11 
# gentoo > touch b; install b b /tmp 
install: will not overwrite just-created `/tmp/b' with `b'
