             Bug #: 14563
           Summary: Current development requires makeinfo in $PATH.
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.23
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden
    Classification: Unclassified


Current development snapshot requires makeinfo in $PATH. binutils 2.22 didn't.
My version of binutils is 2.22.52.0.4. In a minimal environment with busybox
and without the `makeinfo' command, the configure of binutils reports:

configure: WARNING:
*** Makeinfo is missing. Info documentation will not be built.

However, doing `make':

WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system.  You should only need it if
         you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
         indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.  The spurious
         call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX,
         DU, IRIX).  You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
         the `GNU make' package.  Grab either from any GNU archive site.
make[3]: *** [bfd.info] Error 1
