Yes, exactly, it is r10388 in CURRENT.
Yet not committed to STABLE, but will do soon.

Seems like a yearly or every two years release (like this one) is a good
idea. There are always little fixes or improvements that could benefit
to some people.
Also, FYI, automake has just included upstream our local changes to
install-sh:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2020-11/index.html
Only the Cygwin part has not:
+ # For Cygwin compatibility.
+ if [ -x "$src".exe ]; then
+ src=${src}.exe
+ fi
I think this change is too dangerous. It would make it impossible to
install foo if foo.exe exists, regardless of what was intended.
I think Cygwin support has to be handled at a different level,
like EXEEXT in Autoconf.
Well, we're not impacted so it's fine for this local change to install-sh.
