Now, in that test, the toplevel configure script chooses $top_srcdir/INSTALL (yes, the text file) as install script. I suspect this is because you have /uhome/src/gnu/libtool-head in the $PATH, the beginning of testsuite.log reveals that. Why is that, did you add that manually?
On MinGW (under MSYS, where '.' is in the default PATH) I've always found it necessary to explicitly specify INSTALL=/bin/install when configuring/making packages -- not just libtool, but almost any autotooled package. Part of this is the '.'-in-path thing, coupled with the case-insensitive nature of the filesystem, plus the "look for either foo OR foo.exe in each DIR of $PATH, before going to next DIR" behavior. The nuances are slightly different on cygwin and msys.
I've never had this happen on cygwin, though. -- Chuck
