I would love to see a fix for the issue of the build failing if you don't have makeinfo installed... I think it's already fixed but I don't know if it was applied to the branch. I can look up the bug # if needed. I have GDB embedded in a complete cross-compiler build suite and this failure means I have to configure the build servers specially to install makeinfo (normally it's not installed). So it's a small thing, in general, but it has a disproportionately large impact on my personal setup.
