Hmm, okay, well, however this is fixed, I *think* g77's building
of the Info files (and most everything else in egcs/gcc/f/) now
is conditionalized on $(LANGUAGES) containing "[fF]77".  That should
mean that fixing the upstream/toplevel stuff is all that is needed
for g77.

But perhaps people who work on other front ends should take a look
at what g77 is now doing and copy, or at least comment, on it.
