Since this is likely just my config again, I will only send in a
-pr if others tell me that they have the same symptoms :)

Doing a make install does:

===> bin/ln
install -c -s -o bin -g bin -m 555  ln /bin
install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444 ln.cat1 /usr/share/man/cat1/ln.0
install -c -o bin -g bin -m 444 symlink.cat7 /usr/share/man/catsymlink.cat7/symlink.0
install: /usr/share/man/catsymlink.cat7/symlink.0: No such file or directory

Notice the directory that the second man page is targeted to ?

The Makefile to perfectly reasonable to me.
