Why is INSTALL not present in the FLAGS_TO_PASS?
I'm using CVS 1.11 under SunOS 5.8. Here INSTALL must be
/usr/ucb/install; there's no /usr/local/bin/install. (AR needs to be
adapted too.) In the main Makefile, the flag INSTALL is not passed
on, unlike, e.g., AR, CC, CFLAGS, etc. Adding the line
INSTALL='$(INSTALL)' \
to the FLAGS_TO_PASS makes the installation go smoothly.
Is there a deeper rationale for not passing INSTALL?
