Folks,
It appears if as the install command in GNU fileutils
behave differently in later releases.
The bug in the erlang Makefiles manifests itself in
gentoo linux systems which run an install command that is slightly
newer than on i.e. rh9.0.
Anyway, older install did complain when we tried to
install the same file twice.
Try for example:
# touch foo; install foo foo /tmp
This command fails on newer install. See:
# install --version
install (fileutils) 4.1.11

# touch foo; install -c foo foo /tmp
install: will not overwrite just-created `/tmp/foo' with `foo'

Thus erlang Makefiles fail to install a number of files:
The easiest way to reproduce is to do:
# make install > /tmp/stdout
Anything that gets written to stderr is an error.
I attach a patch. apply as :
# cd otp_src_R9B-1;
# patch -p0 < /path/to/install.patch

I have installed version 5.0 of the GNU install program (part of
coreutils 5.0) for one of our daily builds to make sure the R9C
release will be correct in this respect.
Thank you for the patch and for reporting this,
kent
