Ugh. INSTALL_PROGRAM is passed from the top level to all subdirs, so it doesn't work when srcdir is relative. I suspect this is why we say we don't support objdir as a subdir of srcdir in the installation documentation: people will tend to use relative pathnames for that.
I suppose it will work if you run
make install INSTALL_PROGRAM=/full/path/to/src/install-sh
Please file a bug report on this, such that this doesn't get lost. At the very least, the documentation should be changed to make it clear that relative pathnames are not expected to work.

I will try this. However, I never had any issues until just now.
Usually I do this :
unzip gcc into /junk
cd /junk/gcc* mkdir obj cd obj ../configure BLAH make bootstrap make install
isnt that that the normal and recommended way?
..I tried this same way (above) on my FreeBSD 5.2.1 system and it built 100% fine. So could this be a solaris issue? - I am running solaris10 beta...
