Subject: 4.17.85 configure w/ relative path fails to build bfd/dwarf1.c

Tried to build 4.17.85 for my sparc (solaris 2.5.1) tonight and found that
if one configures using a path to configure, like ../blah/blah/configure or
/blah/blah/configure then:

	- GDB does not build bfd/dwarf1.c, but attempts to archive it in
		libbfd, and fails.

	- dejagnu-19990209 gets the following error during 'make install':

 /usr/local/gnu/bin/install -c -m 644 ../../../toddpw/dejagnu-19990209/dejagnu/baseboards/arm-ice.exp /net/alabama/alabama2/gdb41785/share/dejagnu/baseboards/../../../toddpw/dejagnu-19990209/dejagnu/baseboards/arm-ice.exp
/usr/local/gnu/bin/install: /net/alabama/alabama2/gdb41785/share/dejagnu/baseboards/../../../toddpw/dejagnu-19990209/dejagnu/baseboards/arm-ice.exp: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

Sorry to not include patches but I am not much of a configure wizard yet.

If more info than this is needed to fix the problem, let me know.

I usually keep read-only copies of GNU tarballs on my machine for reference,
and do all builds in 'sandbox' directories. I am running 'make check' on the
results of a build/install from writable copies of the source, and will send
that in when I get back in tomorrow. G'night.
