[Bug other/28756] New: `make install` is broken, doesn't install `gcc`

[phreelance_spam at yahoo dot com]

On my system, though I don't think it's system dependent, there's an error in
`make install` for gcc-4.1.1 where it doesn't install gcc (though other
components, c++/g++, gcov, gccbug are installed fine).

System: SPARC, Solaris 10 Generic_118833-17

Configuration: ../gcc-4.1.1/configure                      \
    --prefix=/pkgs/gcc/gcc-4.1.1            \
    --disable-shared                        \
    --with-gnu-as                           \
    --with-gnu-ld                           \
    --enable-__cxa_atexit                   \
    --enable-checking=yes                   \
    --enable-languages=c,c++,objc           \
    --program-prefix=sparc-sun-solaris2.10- \
    --program-suffix=-4.1.1

Relevant portion of make's output:

rm -f /pkgs/gcc/gcc-4.1.1/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.10-gcc-4.1.1
/export/home/koninkje/gcc-4.1.1/install-sh -c xgcc
/pkgs/gcc/gcc-4.1.1/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.10-gcc-4.1.1
rm -f /pkgs/gcc/gcc-4.1.1/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.10-gcc-4.1.1
( cd /pkgs/gcc/gcc-4.1.1/bin && \ 
          ln sparc-sun-solaris2.10-gcc-4.1.1 sparc-sun-solaris2.10-gcc-4.1.1 )
ln: cannot access sparc-sun-solaris2.10-gcc-4.1.1

The problem is that sparc-sun-solaris2.10-gcc-$suffix is installed also by
default .

Still reproducible with 4.5.0. For example:
../gcc-4.5.0/configure --target=i686-pc-mingw32 --enable-languages=c
--program-prefix=i686-pc-mingw32- --program-suffix=-4.5.0
--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs

I'm not sure why you would ever want to use --program-prefix=$target_alias when
GCC already installs symlinks under the $target_alias-gcc name (and similar for
g++ et al).

This seems to me an instance of "don't do it when it hurts", no?  Thanks.

That was my first thought when I saw this bug.
