I see.

The GNUmakefile you're using (install/GNUmakefile) is really more of a bootstrap script that just goes and kicks off the makes of other things before finally copying or symlinking files to your sbbs/exec dir. Those "other things" often have their own make files that do most of the work and the biggest of those is src/sbbs3/GNUmakefile which builds all the sbbs3 libraries and executables. It also has an "install" target.

Check the src/sbbs3/gcc.linux.*.exe.*/ output directory for anything else that might not be copied/symlinked by the install/GNUmakefile.

fmsgdump was another Synchronet utility I noticed was not being copied or symlinked by the install/GNUmakefile.
