RH 7.3?  No.

Debian?  I mainly run FreeBSD at home, but I also have Debian 3.0 (and
Solaris 7 and NT 4.0) installed on my main machine, so I could try a
build there.

That might be a result of whatever version of automake/autoconf happens
to be installed - it might be trying to supply a default INSTALL file,
or something such as that, which is a bit silly given that we have our
own INSTALL file.
