You keep not telling us things.

So, does "makeinfo" do anything?

I've now installed texinfo.

oaina@temp2:~/Downloads/gcc-build$ which makeinfo
/usr/bin/makeinfo
oaina@temp2:~/Downloads/gcc-build$ makeinfo
makeinfo: missing file argument.
Try `makeinfo --help' for more information.

Surprisingly, the build still complains that makeinfo is not available!

I've also tried running make after installing texinfo. I've put up a copy of the output on google docs, at: http://tinyurl.com/6bf4fnm .
