Don't you know 4.1.1 is a test release from
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/fetish/ ?

>From README-alpha:

This is a test release of this package.

It's been too long (too many changes) since the last release.
Be careful with this one (4.1.1).  I may well have broken

something.

Please send comments and problem reports to jim @ meyering.net.

Why don't you report the "problem" to Jim or ask Red Hat to
patch their RawHide package.

linux-2.4.15-pre6, fileutils-4.1.1-1.i386.rpm

With my configuration (details not important), "make modules_install" results in:

mkdir -p /lib/modules/2.4.15-pre6/kernel/drivers/sound/
cp soundcore.o sound.o cs4232.o ad1848.o pss.o ad1848.o mpu401.o cs4232.o uart401.o ad1848.o mpu401.o uart6850.o

cp: will not overwrite just-created `/lib/modules/2.4.15-pre6/kernel/drivers/sound/mpu401.o' with `mpu401.o'
make[2]: *** [_modinst__] Error 1

This hasn't been a problem with earlier version of /bin/cp (upto fileutils-4.1-4.i386.rpm in RH7.2),
but /bin/cp from fileutils-4.1.1-1.i386.rpm (in the Rawhide collection) is more pedantic about
multiple copies of the same file.

This patch works around this "feature".  It would be better if the Makefiles were changed to only
install modules once, but thats a deeper problem.
