There is an entry in the web2c Makefile to put fmtutil.cnf there but 
updmap.cfg is not installed. Hence if updmap is called later it fails 
and so does the whole make process.

Certainly, but a 'make install' should work in a clean situation (it 
always did thusfar, including the creation of a texmf.cnf and a 
fmtutil.cnf). 'Make install' tries to run updmap and thus 'make 
install' needs a updmap.cfg (the same as with fmtutil). As it is now, a 
'make install' on my system fails because I run this in a 100% clean 
environment.
