Strange.

The Makefile at this point is trying to do

        @$(MKINSTALLDIRS) $(top_builddir)/bin
        @for f in $(SCRIPTS_S); do \
          $(INSTALL_SCRIPT) $(srcdir)/$${f} $(top_builddir)/bin; \
        done

but I don't see how this could expand to
	  cp ../../bin ./BATCH/bin

Maybe you have white space in some path?

What does
	grep INSTALL Makeconf
give in the top-level build dir?
