Compile Problem with GCC 3.02 and GCC 2.95-3

[Bjoern Hillebrand]

Hi!

I try to compile my own Linux with LFS (www.linuxfromscratch.org). When 
i have to compile the Texinfo package my GCC aborts with errors.
LFS 3.1 comes with version 4.0 and the GCC compiler is version 3.02. GCC 
2.95-3 also aborts.

I am using Slackware 8 with glibc 2.2.3 and GCC 3.02. GCC uses no  
CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS.
The error appeared in the info.c. I tried to fix them and then it 
worked. I don´t know whether my system or the source code produces the 
error.

You can take a look at the log files i´ ve made and decide on your own ;-)

btw:  The little bugfix doesn´t seems perfect. My C knowledge isn´t good 
enough to fix it.

bye.

Options:\n\
 --apropos=SUBJECT        look up SUBJECT in all indices of all manuals.\n\
 --directory=DIR          add DIR to INFOPATH.\n\
 --dribble=FILENAME       remember user keystrokes in FILENAME.\n\
 --file=FILENAME          specify Info file to visit.\n\
 --help                   display this help and exit.\n\
 --index-search=STRING    go to node pointed by index entry STRING.\n\
 --node=NODENAME          specify nodes in first visited Info file.\n\
 --output=FILENAME        output selected nodes to FILENAME.\n\
 --restore=FILENAME       read initial keystrokes from FILENAME.\n\
 --show-options, --usage  go to command-line options node.\n\

The first non-option argument, if present, is the menu entry to start from;\n\
it is searched for in all `dir' files along INFOPATH.\n\
If it is not present, info merges all `dir' files and shows the result.\n\
Any remaining arguments are treated as the names of menu\n\
items relative to the initial node visited.\n\
\n\
Examples:\n\
  info                       show top-level dir menu\n\
  info emacs                 start at emacs node from top-level dir\n\
  info emacs buffers         start at buffers node within emacs manual\n\
  info --show-options emacs  start at node with emacs' command line options\n\
  info -f ./foo.info         show file ./foo.info, not searching dir\n\
