Well, I expect the texinfo directory to disappear shortly - but, what
I would suggest you do meantime is:
cd src-dir
mv texinfo texinfo.not
cd build-dir
/path/to/src-dir/configure
make bootstrap
make check
Just remember to move the 'texinfo.not' directory back before you do a
cvs update.
The way it works was specifically requested (by Geoff Keating - see
the list); if you've got texinfo in your source tree at configure
time, it wants to use that copy.
I *could* have it notice at build time if texinfo was still there, but
that would require Excessive Makefile Cleverness, in my opinion.
