perfect (output still incl. my fprintf):
$ ./ginstall -Cv -m$mode3 a b
extra_mode(1517) -> 1024
./ginstall: the --compare (-C) option is ignored when you specify a
mode with non-permission bits
extra_mode(1517) -> 1024
removed `b'
`a' -> `b'
and `make TESTS='install/install-C' check`:
PASS: install/install-C
