Weird. It looks like you have some exceedingly nonstandard program
in /usr/local/bin/install --- certainly not what configure thought that
that program would do, anyway. Do you know where that program came from
(perhaps a Sun COBOL package)?

A nondestructive workaround would be to hand-edit src/Makefile.global's
INSTALL variable to refer to our install-sh script (also in src/) rather
than /usr/local/bin/install. However, that install is going to bite a
lot of other open-source packages that expect to find a standard-ish
install script available, so I'd suggest deleting or at least renaming
it...
