[Clfs-dev] Building CLFS on systems with some higher versions of texinfo

Hi,

after hours of try and error, I figured out, that
on systems with newer versions of texinfo, binutils-2.17
only builds with the patch (attached) applied.
Hope this helps someone else who runs into this problem:

----

  WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system.  You should only need it if
          you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
          indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.  The spurious
          call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX,
          DU, IRIX).  You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
          the `GNU make' package.  Grab either from any GNU archive site.
make[3]: *** [/mnt/clfs/sources/binutils-build/bfd/doc/bfd.info] Error 1

greetz,

Toby
