Fine, thanks.

As I already the idiot of the day because of my configure.in patch, please
allow another stupid question. I'm still upgrading from inn-1999-10-07_03-00
(CURRENT) to inn-1999-10-11_03-01 which makes more problems than I expect.

The configure invocation:
env CFLAGS="-O -OPT:Olimit=8000 -woff all" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-woff,84" \
  _PATH_SED=/usr/local/bin/gsed _PATH_SORT=/usr/local/bin/gsort \
  ./configure --prefix=/news/reader --with-perl --disable-uucp-rnews \
  --disable-setgid-inews --with-syslog-facility=LOG_LOCAL3 \
  --with-news-user=reader --with-news-umask=022 --with-innd-port=532 \
  --with-news-master=news --with-sendmail=/usr/local/bin/smail

and I get something like this in Makefile.global:

	[...]
	PATHBIN         = ${exec_prefix}/bin
	[...]

This produces problems on my system because make does not expect ${...} but
uses $(...) and exec_prefix is also undefined at this point. Therefore all
binaries are installed to /bin (ARG!) and the manuals to /man. There is a
related problems in mkdirs.sh which can interpret ${...} but $exec_prefix
and $prefix are unset during 'make install' as root.

It is possible that this problems are also related to my own changes in the
source. But if not and someone noticed similar problems with the newest
version of INN-CURRENT, please let me (and the list) know. Thank you.
