The configure script put this in config.status:

ac_given_INSTALL="/usr/local/bin/install -c"

My /usr/local/bin/install is symbolically linked to /usr/ucb/install
since that is what most packages want.  According to the manual page,
-m is indeed supported.

I think the problem is this:

/usr/local/bin/install -c -m a+x ...

The assumption here is that install supports symbolic mode setting.  I
am sure there are installs that do support this, but this is not
de-facto BSD "standard".
