Re: Gcc mainline failed to build with texinfo 4.6


Most current linux distributions still ship TexInfo 4.5 or 4.6. Fedora core 2, for example, only has 4.6. Is this small change worth the hassle for everyone to manually update their TexInfo? Unless this is a compelling/essential feature that we really need, I'd prefer if we could maintain the version requirement as-is, until current OS's have caught up.

Regards

It seems we need to increase the makeinfo version requirement (I think that section title is best with commas in, and considered repunctuating it before going for @comma{}). OK to commit the following to mainline, and 3.4 branch after it reopens?
