Makefile issues on Solaris

[Dhruva Krishnamurthy]

Hello,
 I am building GNU Emacs (CVS Head), the output of emacs-version is:
 GNU Emacs 22.0.50.2 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8, X toolkit) of 2005-06-28

 The problem I am facing is in the generated Makefile in lib-src under the
 following conditions.

 - I run configure from a different folder (build folder).
   Ex: 
     The pristine Emacs sources are in: ~/cvs/emacs/
     The build folder is: ~/cvs/build/sunos
 - I do a 'make bootstrap' the first time (and make subsequently)
 - I do a 'make install' and get the following error.

---- END OF ERROR MESSAGE ------ 

The error is due to the complete path to which the complete path of the script
to be installed is getting appended. I made a manual fix to the Makefile which
fixed the problem for me. Maybe this is the desired behavior, I am not too
sure.
