Just complie on the same architecture
>Fix:
The location of install-sh is "../../..", not "." or ".." or "../..".

So there are two ways to fix this problem.

  1. Mofify configure script to search "../../..", too.
  2. Make the symbolic link to install-sh, too.

 You can either try the solution suggested in
 
  http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view%20audit-trail&database=gcc&pr=8844
 
 or try using a completely different build directory, with an absolute path when invoking the
 configure script.  i.e.
 
 tar xvvfz gcc-3.2.1.tar.gz
 srcdir=`pwd`/gcc-3.2.1
 mkdir gcc-3.2.1-build
 cd gcc-3.2.1-build
 "$srcdir/configure"  --prefix=/usr/local 
 make bootstrap
 make install
 
 I've found the solution of just copying install-sh does not work, because later on in the build
 or install process you will find additional errors that result from the same configuration bug.

 I tried this, but this didn't work again.
 
 Best regard.

 I've seen this as well and a work around for me was to start a
 fresh build and use an absolut path for srcdir, i.e. /usr/src/gcc/configure
 instead of ../gcc/configure.
