Using the process in the Info file for building in a separate directory,
the install target does not correctly handle the include files stddef.h,
stdarg.h assert.h va-*.h and limits.h.

the command output from the makefile is this:

for file in stddef.h stdarg.h assert.h va-*.h limits.h; do \
     for eachfile in  ../gcc-1.36.92/${file} ; do \

this results in values for ../gcc-1.36.92/<name> for eachfile.

install cannot handle this, trying to create a file using that entire name,
such as /usr/local/lib/gnu/gcc-include/../gcc-1.36.92/stddef.h, which fails.
