Indeed, when invoked with RELOC_* environment variables, 'install-reloc'
was meant to install one program only. This was how it was meant to be
invoked from Automake. But this changed in Automake on 2008-09-07, see
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git;a=commitdiff;h=4295fe33eb23fb9440ee6a7404ec064067266372

Can you please try this modified 'install-reloc' program instead?
Save it and do a "chmod +x install-reloc" before you can use it.
Does it help on hurd-i386 (or on kFreeBSD as well, without the other patch)?
