/local/gnats_tmp
% ../gnats-3.113/configure --prefix=/gnu/gnats-3.113 --with-full-gnats

>How-To-Repeat:
Run "configure" in different directory than the distribution, i.e. build GNATS 
in different directory than the source codes.
>Fix:
Change the path of config from $(srcdir)/ to ./, as shown in diff output below.

% diff gnats-3.113/gnats/Makefile.in  gnats-3.113-FIXED/gnats/Makefile.in

<          $(INSTALL_DATA) -o $(GNATS_USER) $(srcdir)/config \
---
>          $(INSTALL_DATA) -o $(GNATS_USER) ./config \
