[Cluster-devel] gfs2-utils "make install" failure and fix

[Jim Meyering <jim@meyering.net>]

With an explicit --prefix, "make install" would install into /sbin regardless:

  $ ./configure --prefix=/p/p/coro
  ...
  $ make install
  make[1]: Entering directory `/h/meyering/w/co/gfs2-utils/gfs2/mkfs'
  /p/bin/install -c -d /sbin
  make[1]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'.
  /p/bin/install -c -m 755 mkfs.gfs2 /sbin
  /p/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/sbin/mkfs.gfs2': Permission denied
  make[1]: *** [install-exec-local] Error 1
  make[1]: Leaving directory `/h/meyering/w/co/gfs2-utils/gfs2/mkfs'
  make: *** [install-am] Error 2

Along the way I noticed the Makefile.am files
were using noinst_PROGRAMS and adding their own install rules.
It's easier/cleaner/etc. to use sbin_PROGRAMS.
Here's the patch:

Subject: [PATCH gfs2-utils] Use automake's sbin_PROGRAMS, rather than writing our own rules.

This also fixes a "make install" failure to honor --prefix.
* gfs2/mount/Makefile.am (sbin_PROGRAMS): Use sbin_PROGRAMS,
not noinst_PROGRAMS.
(install-exec-local, uninstall-local): Remove rules.
Automake automates this when you define sbin_PROGRAMS.
* gfs2/fsck/Makefile.am (sbin_PROGRAMS): Likewise.
(install-exec-local, uninstall-local): Remove rules.
* gfs2/mkfs/Makefile.am (sbin_PROGRAMS): Likewise.
(install-exec-local, uninstall-local): Remove rules.
(install-exec-hook, uninstall-hook): Remove unnecessary sub-shells.
