Build Bug In gcc-4.1.2

[Thomas Dineen <tdineen at ix dot netcom dot com>]

Gentle People:

  First of all I would like to thank all of you for the help you have
provided so far. With your help I have been able to build and install
Gcc versions 3.4.6 and 4.0.4.

  However I have encountered another bug in Gcc version gcc-4.1.2.
Shown at the bottom below. Please note that while the build complains
the makeinfo is not present, a makeinfo --version was successful when
executed in the SAME shell after the failed build. Also note that I did
not edit or modify the referenced .texi' or `.texinfo files.

- The command sequence used is as follows:

1) Md5sum Verification:
cd /export/home/tools/gcc
gmd5sum gcc-4.1.1.tar.gz
diff md5sum_new md5sum_orig
- Md5sun was correct

2) Gunzip:
gunzip gcc-4.1.1.tar.gz
- No Errors

3) Inflate:
tar -xvf gcc-4.1.1.tar
- No Errors

4) Make and condition directories:
mkdir gcc-gcc-4.1.1 gcc-4.1.1-bin
chmod 777 gcc-4.1.1-obj gcc-4.1.1-bin
cd gcc-4.1.1-obj

5) Configure Command:
/export/home/tools/gcc/gcc-4.1.1/configure  --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as 
--with-as=/opt/sfw/bin/gas --with-ld=/opt/sfw/bin/gld
- No Errors displayed.

6) Create Links:
- Required to fix previously discussed bugs.
ln -s /opt/sfw/bin/gmake make
ln -s /opt/sfw/bin/gld ld
ln -s /opt/sfw/bin/gas as

7) Actual Build:
gmake
gmake DESTDIR=/export/home/tools/gcc/gcc-4.1.1-bin install

- Build error:

WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system.  You should only need it if
        you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
        indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.  The spurious
        call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX,
        DU, IRIX).  You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
        the `GNU make' package.  Grab either from any GNU archive site.
