[Bug libc/764] New: getconf installation problem

["giffordj at linkline dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sources dot redhat dot com>]

I build my glibc with the line --libexecdir=/usr/lib/glibc. Usually you would
see a directory under that named getconf. Not on my last few builds, the
/usr/lib/getconf, gets placed into /usr/bin/getconf and the getconf executable
doesn't even get installed.

During the build I noticed a lot of messages like
mkdir /usr/src/temp-build/login, but on the getconf stuff I saw the following
mkdir /usr/bin/getconf. Also during the build a lot of messages like this would
appear Makefile:267: warning: overriding commands for target `/usr/bin/getconf'
../Makerules:1033: warning: ignoring old commands for target `/usr/bin/getconf'

I posted a message a long time back, and was never satisfied with the answer,
but decided to investigate this a lot further. I have seen this error on various
platforms. http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2005-01/msg00063.html

Upon checking /usr/bin/getconf, he found the getconf was a directory with 2
files in it
