This workaround doesn't actually work (in the actual case of GNU gettext):
it fails the "make distcheck" verification.
The real workaround goes like this:
===================================================
all : copy1 copy2 copy3 copy4
copy1: Makefile
install -c -m 644 Makefile copy1
install -c -m 644 Makefile copy2
install -c -m 644 Makefile copy3
install -c -m 644 Makefile copy4
copy2 copy3 copy4: copy1
===================================================
