Thanks Ian, it seems to work when compiling from source code, in  
gcc-4.4.3/ directory:

  ./configure
  make info

Then, I have a gcc-4.4.3/gcc/doc/gcc.info file about 1.9M in size (ls  
-s -h gcc.info).


Now, is it possible to build GCC documentation directly from  
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/docs-sources.tar.gz file, instead of  
having to download GCC whole source code? From extracted  
docs-sources.tar.gz file, I tried this:

  cd gcc/gcc/doc
  makeinfo -I include/ gcc.texi

But then, I have the following error message:

  include//gcc-common.texi:12: @include `gcc-vers.texi': No such file  
or directory.
  gcc.texi:125: warning: undefined flag: version-GCC.
  /cygdrive/d/cj/gnu-linux/gcc/gcc/doc//invoke.texi:1301: warning:  
undefined flag: srcdir.
  /cygdrive/d/cj/gnu-linux/gcc/gcc/doc//invoke.texi:1300: @include  
`{No value for `srcdir'}/../libiberty/at-file.texi': No such file or  
directory.
  /cygdrive/d/cj/gnu-linux/gcc/gcc/doc//bugreport.texi:91: warning:  
undefined flag: BUGURL.
  makeinfo: Removing output file  
`/cygdrive/d/cj/gnu-linux/gcc/gcc/doc/gcc.info' due to errors; use  
--force to preserve.

Notes:
- there is no 'gcc-vers.texi' file in the entire gcc/ directory,
- there is an 'at-file.texi' in gcc/libiberty/, but I don't know how  
to define 'srcdir' flag?

Thanks for your help,

Christophe
