Re: install-sh -s on readonly file

[Karl Berry]

Hi Paul,

    How about the attached Automake patch instead? 

Thanks much. Clever. Seems good to me. Can you install it in am, please?

Perhaps it is worth a comment that it's desired to create the file with
$cp_umask (not just cp-ing it), in order in ensure $dsttmp is writable,
else strip can fail. Otherwise there is no obvious reason for the
complicated sequence.  At least if I'm understanding correctly what you
are doing ... --thanks, karl.
