Description
During installation of LFS (Chapter 6) according to the current book (CVS - 07/12/2002) some "make install"s claimed about a missing /bin/install, which I guess got installed into /static/bin/install. Unfortunately those Makefiles seem to have "/bin/install" hardwired.
(btw: the failing packages were: sed, gawk, textutils - probably others later in the chapter 6 too)
I circumvented the problem by copying the old /bin/install from the mother system (an older LFS). The better solution would be to "ln -sf ../static/bin/install /bin/install"

Seems to be invalid, did a bunch of test builds over the last few weeks, nothing detected. Nobody else reported it for a long time, so maybe a $PATH problem that caused it? Maybe resused the same tarball as in chapter 5 (that'd be a bad thing to do).
I haven't come across this problem myself nor do I remember other people with the same problem recently. May be an isolated incident? Regardless it'll be checked out.
