Yes, because the one provided with MSYS is from texinfo 4.3, which  
GCC finds too old. Apparently, MSYS-1.0.11 will come with texinfo  
4.11, but it's still labeled "technology preview" for now.

mingw doesn't have texinfo, and the one from MSYS is too old... or  
maybe you're refering to MSYS-1.0.10?

Weeks before the release? That doesn't give much time to anyone for  
getting it working and actually testing the release candidates.
