trouble with make install on aix

[Chris Saunders]

Hi!
  I'm not sure if this is a bug or I'm not doing something correctly, but 
I've just tried to install binutils 2.15 on an aix system and had some 
trouble with the 'make install' step.

First, here's some useful info:

a)
This is AIX Version 5.2:

b)
$ uname -a
AIX widget 2 5 00CBE19D4C00

c)
I'm using gnu make 3.80

d)
I've succesfully built and installed binutils 2.14 on the same machine,
using the same configure/make sequence.

e)
configure line:
./configure --prefix=/genome/ctsa/opt/powerpc-aix/binutils-2.15


The configuration and make steps run w/o generating errors and the
binutil programs seem to run correctly (I've only tested them casually).
However, when I run 'make install', I get an error message, I've copied 
the whole make install output below (it's not very long).

...I'm not sure what other info I can provide, unfortunately I'm only a
very occasional user of aix so please let me know if any other info would
help. Many thanks!

-Chris
