Bug#671044: install-reloc is invoked with too many arguments

[Sylvain]

Hi,

I received the bug report below when compiling GNU FreeDink on
Debian/kFreeBSD and Debian/Hurd.

It seems that there's an issue with install-reloc:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=freedink&arch=kfreebsd-amd64&ver=1.08.20120427-1&stamp=1335561117
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=freedink&arch=hurd-i386&ver=1.08.20120427-1&stamp=1335555752

  RELOC_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR=LD_LIBRARY_PATH RELOC_LIBRARY_PATH_VALUE= RELOC_PREFIX=/usr RELOC_DESTDIR=/build/buildd-freedink_1.08.20120427-1-kfreebsd-amd64-I0HlF8/freedink-1.08.20120427/debian/freedink-engine RELOC_COMPILE_COMMAND=gcc -g -O2 -Wall -std=c99 -I/usr/include/SDL -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -D_REENTRANT  RELOC_SRCDIR=../gnulib/lib RELOC_BUILDDIR=../gnulib/lib RELOC_CONFIG_H_DIR=.. RELOC_EXEEXT= RELOC_STRIP_PROG=: RELOC_INSTALL_PROG=/usr/bin/install -c ../autotools/install-reloc freedink freedinkedit '/build/buildd-freedink_1.08.20120427-1-kfreebsd-amd64-I0HlF8/freedink-1.08.20120427/debian/freedink-engine/usr/games'
  Usage: ../autotools/install-reloc library_path_var library_path_value prefix destdir compile_command srcdir builddir config_h_dir exeext strip_command install_command... destprog

AFAICS 'install-reloc', when run with environment variables, expects
exactly:
- 1 executable
- 1 destprog dir

In this case, the relocatable-prog macros invokes install-reloc with:
- 2 executables (freedink, freedinkedit)
- 1 destprog dir

So I believe 'install-reloc' does not take environment variables into
account, and fails.

Is this a bug in gnulib, or did I do something wrong?

Cheers!
Sylvain
