This is because on aral the library grades to install are specified
using non-canonical names (e.g. asm_fast.gc.debug.tr rather than
asm_fast.gc.tr.debug).

Mmake.common.in contains the following

Is there any reason why this isn't
	GRADESTRING	= $(shell $(SCRIPTS_DIR)/canonical_grade $(ALL_GRADEFLAGS))
