Hi Les,
There's a compatibility problem between makeinfo under *nix and cygwin.
There are two solutions: the official one is to rename the 'texinfo'
subdirectory in the gcc source to something like 'old.texinfo' or just
delete it altogether, add the flag "--with-included-gettext" to your
configure command line, and retry the build.
OTOH if you already have .info files for gcc or you just don't care,
try 'touch gcc.info cpp.info' when the build files and then repeat your
make command. It should then carry on from where it left off without trying
to build the .info files.
hth,
DaveK
