[980425] makeinfo errors

[Jim Wilson]

It appears that the getopt_long function call in texinfo's main function
is failing.  It isn't recognizing -o as an option, so it tries to treat it
as a file, and then we get a 'No such file of directory' message from perror.

getopt_long should be coming from libtxi.a which is built from
texinfo/lib/*.c.

Perhaps the problem here is that your system compiler (gcc?, cc?) is
miscompiling texinfo/lib/getopt1.c.  You could try compiling egcs with
a different compiler than the one you have been using.

Perhaps the problem is that getopt_long is coming from someplace other
than libtxi.a, and this other getopt_long function does not behave the
way that makeinfo expects.
