Oh, cool.  Don't particularly fancy adding install (presumably = the 
entire coreutils chain) to the list of tools (m4, autoconf, automake, 
libtool) I already pre-build!

Looking promising so far.  arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi built fine (haven't 
tried exercising it yet, but presumably install has no role there); 
currently trying powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu.  I'll report back tomorrow...

Any particularly evil targets or version combinations worth testing?
