... I see that ARCH isn't set: "dist./" should be "dist.SOMEARCHSTUFF/".
What does
 uname -a
say?

Apparently your "cp" command does not like --parents (while -p seems
to be there which should be the same).

Please change in the main Makefile all occurencies of --parents to -p
and tell us if this helps.

Yes, well done. We have to understand what really happens
(I am not sure if --parents is GNU only or so, looks like that:

).

The "install" target sometimes doesn't work properly. This needs
to be checked by a person knowing more about Makefile than
me (so, most folks here :)
