 I do not know why, but it is entirely reproduceable, "install" needs the
target filename and not only the directory where to put the source
filename. This is on a quite old centos machine, I do not have the root
password.
 I can add the full log if you want, but this screen dump should describe
the problem:

I do not know if it has to be fixed, this centos is too old. But it seems
the only place where "install" is used with a target directory in building
the whole buildroot.

 Thanks for your help,
 Etienne.
