It certainly does for me: barimba. pwd /home/tromey/gnu/baseline-gdb/build/binutils barimba. grep '^srcdir = ' Makefile srcdir = ../../src/binutils barimba. find . -name 'binutils.info' ./doc/binutils.info barimba. find ../../src/binutils -name 'binutils.info' barimba. How did you test it? If you built from a distribution tar, then it is expected that the info file would be in srcdir. Tom
