This sound sane. I think the real issue rests on automake and
install-sh.  Previously I use automake 1.7 and did not have this
problem.  I suppose the previously behaviour is reasonable too because
I sudo install into /usr/bin but not my home.  The debian automake
1.11 (that I now use) said it is possible to break on some occasions
and allow retaining the early automake versions as alternatives.

Therefore now I think the problem is not gnumeric itself but its
developers may want to check building with this automake 1.11
