/usr/dcs/software/supported/bin/ginstall is version 4.0, whereas Fedora
Core 1 (which is QUITE old) has /usr/bin/install version 5.0 .

Even install-4.5.3 has the -C switch.  For now, manually change your
Makefile.config in your build directory to have the line

INSTALL := /usr/bin/install -c

instead of

INSTALL := /usr/dcs/software/supported/bin/ginstall -c 

and you should be fine, assuming your /usr/bin/install is more recent.

In the future, we should allow a configure switch choose the install
program, and it might already do that with --with-install=[path], but I
am not sure and haven't checked.
