>Description:
The METALOG that is created when using build.sh to build a release
contains a bogus entry for ./gettext.1 (in addition to the correct entry
for ./usr/share/man/man1/gettext.1).

This is caused by the following lines in
src/gnu/usr.bin/gettext/gettext/Makefile:

        gettext.1: ${DIST}/gettext/gettext-runtime/man/gettext.1.in
                ${INSTALL_FILE} $> $@

${INSTALL_FILE} expands to something that invokes
${TOOLDIR}/bin/nbinstall with args that make it append to the metalog,
and this is wrong.  The apparent intent here is merely to copy a file
from a source directory to ${.OBJDIR}/gettext.1, and ${INSTALL_FILE} is
not the right way to do that.

>How-To-Repeat:
build.sh release
grep '^./gettext.1' ${DESTDIR}/METALOG

>Fix:
I have discovered by experiment that using ${HOST_INSTALL_FILE} instead
of ${INSTALL_FILE} works.  According to lukem, using cp(1) would be more
appropriate.
