Hm, did you skip straight to that without doing "make" first?
That's not really the documented procedure.

Having said that, skipping the make step and going straight to install
does work for me in v11/HEAD. I see the failure you describe in v10,
but I'm not terribly excited about trying to fix it there, since it's
not the documented process.
