I don't know if this has already been reported or not, but it seems
like this is annoying enough to mention again.

When makedo gets installed in /usr/andrew/bin, install creates a
subdirectory called makedo and then makedo.csh is copied into the
subdirectory.  Consequently, when makedo is executed, the make
exits with 'Permission denined' which is appropriate when a
directory is executed.  

The install command in ./overhead/class/machdep/sun_sparc is:

install -c -m 0555 makedo.csh /usr/andrew/bin/makedo

To get around this, you just have to make sure that 
/usr/andrew/bin/makedo exists as a file, not a directory before
the 'install' command is executed.

This is on a Sun4/110 running SunOS4.0.3c
