------- Comment #4 from dave at joot dot com  2006-03-31 05:23 -------
The page at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html under "Tools/packages
necessary for building GCC" does NOT list "Texinfo version 4.4 (or later)" as a
requirement.

I was not intending to modify GCC (as the requirements for modifying it do list
Texinfo). I was intending to compile it. Out of the box compile on my system
failed, and Ranjit's system. Thus a bug, no?  (And even if it still isn't
deemed a bug, the fix is a simple one-liner, which I provided.)

Perhaps the term "modify" implies "CVS" -- if so, perhaps that could be
emphasized on the prerequisite page? That is, "If you download GCC from the
repository (regardless of whether you want to modify it or not), you must have
the following ..."
