I did this in 'gcc-4.4.3/gcc/doc' folder extracted from gcc source, as
well as in 'gcc/gcc/doc' folder extracted from gcc _doc_ source:

  make info

And I have the following error message in both situations:

  make: *** No rule to make target 'info'. Stop.


Note: gcc-4.4.3/gcc/doc as well as gcc/gcc/doc contain only one makefile
namely 'makefile.texi'.
