install-sh copies only a single header file to $(BIN_DIST_DIR)/includes/

During "gmake binary-dist" only the first header file (i.e. Block.h) is copied to the target directory by includes/Makefile:

# Install all header files
#
# Note: we keep per-platform copies of all the include files
# (ditto for interface files). This is not *really* needed, but
# it gives (perhaps) a cleaner binary dist structure..might change.
#
INSTALL_HEADERS += $(H_FILES) $(H_CONFIG) $(H_PLATFORM)

binary-dist:
        $(INSTALL_DIR)                     $(BIN_DIST_DIR)/includes
        $(INSTALL_DATA) Makefile           $(BIN_DIST_DIR)/includes/
        $(INSTALL_DATA) $(INSTALL_HEADERS) $(BIN_DIST_DIR)/includes/

Installation of such an incomplete distribution fails with:

/home/maeder/haskell/pc-solaris/ghc-6.8.0.20071025/ghc-6.8.0.20071025/utils/mkdirhier/mkdirhier /home/maeder/haskell/pc-solaris/bin
gmake -C includes  install      DOING_BIN_DIST=YES
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/maeder/haskell/pc-solaris/ghc-6.8.0.20071025/ghc-6.8.0.20071025/includes'
gmake[1]: *** No rule to make target `ghcautoconf.h', needed by `install'.  Stop.

gmake: *** [install] Error 2

I suppose, this fails on other architectures, too. Because install-sh claims to only copy a single source (although cp can of course copy several files).
