>Description:
The pre-install and post-install targets are not run with elevated privileges, so the mkdir commands in the pre-install target fail when trying to install as non-root (in other words, su seems to only be applied for do-install)
>How-To-Repeat:
Run 'make install' for one of the devel/automake* ports
>Fix:
Change the automake ports to use the pre-su-install and post-su-install targets rather than pre-install and post-install. Example change for automake19:
