Hello, 
sorry for the late reply. I thought, I reported back, but obviuosly I did not.

I use these functions to prepare and build.

prepare() {
  cd "$srcdir"/"${_svnmod}"
  patch -Np0 < $srcdir/activate_plaintext_pm.patch || true # your patch from 
previous mail
  rm build-aux/ltmain.sh
  ln -s /usr/share/libtool/build-aux/ltmain.sh build-aux/ltmain.sh
}

build() {
  cd "$srcdir"/"${_svnmod}"
  export LANG=C
  ./autogen.sh
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib
  make
}

I can now build the LaTeX manuals fine. So this issue seems to be fixed.

Thanks for your help and the general work on GNU.

Best Regards
Stefan
