Then it is ok that this 'install' program is used by GNU gettext, and
it should perform its operation atomically. (The final system call is
a rename().) You can convince yourself by looking at the inode number
("ls -li") of libintl.so.4.2.0 before and after the install: it is
different.

This is normal and isn't a problem on the system I use (OSF/1 4.0d).

installbsd is also no good; the autoconf test ignores it.
