The above sounds right.  Jeremy Utley's message reported an error
associated with the text below:

install-data-hook:
       cd $(mapdir) && \
       rm -f CC_OpenStreetMap.png && \
       $(LN_S) CC_OpenStreetMap_logo.png CC_OpenStreetMap.png

Look familiar?  Jeremy was also building a binary package (for
Fedora), so it appears you have encountered the same issue.
