Summary: build from SRPM on AIX-4.3.3 barfs on `install -m 644 some-file /some/where/`

Initial Comment:
AIX (4.3.3 upwards) has a "Linux compatability mode"
which basically plays a game of `stow` between native
AIX-binaries and these newfangled Linux-thingies which
people insist on wanting to use - such as minicom ;-)

when building from minicom-2.1-1.src.rpm the usual
`configure && make && make install` stuff went as
expected, up until following ...

QUOTED - linewrapping-wierdness might happen
make[2]: Leaving directory \
usr/opt/freeware/src/packages/BUILD/minicom-2.1
+ mkdir -p /var/opt/freeware/tmp/minicom-root/etc
+ install -m 644 doc/minicom.users \
/var/opt/freeware/tmp/minicom-root/etc/minicom.users

install: File 644 was not found.
Bad exit status from \ 
/var/opt/freeware/tmp/rpm-tmp.15345 (%install)

END-QUOTE

Solution:
I changed the Makefile at Line 50 to remove the blank
between '-m 644'

- INSTALL_DATA = ${INSTALL} -m 644
+ INSTALL_DATA = ${INSTALL} -m644

This solved the make && make install problem, but
(c|s)hould be addressed at your end.

Note that the (generated) Makefile says:
INSTALL = /usr/linux/bin/install -c

This PATH is correct (for AIX5L and 4.3.3 (Linux)).

If you need a full transcript or any other information,
testing, or whatever, let me know ...

keep up the good work ;-)
