Something is broken with makeinfo handling:

# which makeinfo
/usr/bin/makeinfo

# tar xjf gdb-6.7.tar.bz2
# mkdir build
# cd build
# ../gdb-6.7/configure --target=sparc-rtems4.8
# make
checking for makeinfo... /users/rtems/src/rpms/BUILD/gdb-6.7/missing
makeinfo --split-size=5000000
configure: WARNING:
*** Makeinfo is missing. Info documentation will not be built.
...

I recall this or a similar issue recently having been reported somewhere
(could be GCC@, because it seems to be a toplevel configuration issue),
unfortunately, I currently can't find the report :(
