Now, in that test, the toplevel configure script chooses
$top_srcdir/INSTALL (yes, the text file) as install script. I suspect
this is because you have /uhome/src/gnu/libtool-head in the $PATH, the
beginning of testsuite.log reveals that. Why is that, did you add that
manually?
Something in 'make check' must be putting it there since it is
certainly not anything I did. Perhaps automake does this in order to
find its scripts? It would be much safer to invoke any subordinate
scripts using full paths. Unfortunately, Windows does not observe
case. As evaluated by 'ls -l' in msys, the INSTALL file has
permissions "-rw-r--r--" so it should not be accidentally executed.
However, if I pass /uhome/src/gnu/libtool-head/INSTALL to msys on the
command line, it is indeed executed. The same happens with Cygwin.
Perhaps since the execute bits are quite unreliable under Windows, any
file is deemed executable.
This is the path setting in the shell that invoked the tests:
