[Clfs-support] Error in texinfo-6.5

[Daniel GSJ]

Hi again.

In this case I have also found an error during the make step (Chapter
6 of CLFS), but with texinfo-6.5. In the original version of CLFS
it was 5.2.

It seems that there is a problem with a small application called
"makedoc", which is not ready to be used during the compilation of funs.h.
This issue seems to appear only in cross-compiling.
(See below "First error output")

I've patched the Makefile.am adding the subdirectory "info":

# painful separate build for cross-compiling.
SUBDIRS =
if TOOLS_ONLY
  # Build native tools only.
  SUBDIRS += gnulib/lib install-info tp util info
                                                             ^^^^
And it fixed the error. But a new one appeared (See below "Second error
output")
Maybe it has something to do with ncurses...

Well... it getting hard to install texinfo!

Any help is welcomed. Thank you.

Daniel G.
