To force gcc you have to say `make setup CC=cc'.

Nevertheless it is indeed strange, because the configure script by
default starts with checking for gcc.  You should consult config.log.

Why does `/./' screw up things?  This is a valid part of the path,
AFAIK.  It seems that your shell has some problems...  Try bash.

This has been fixed in the current snapshot.  Simply say

  chmod 755 install-sh

to set the execution permission flag.

Again, this looks like a bug in the shell.
