Re: makeinfo not built to run under win32 ?

["Tim Prince" <tprince at computer dot org>]

The gcc snapshot makefiles have only recently been fixed up to build
"out of the box" (aside from having to delete the texinfo files) on
cygwin.  I no longer see any problems in this area, running
cygwin-1.1.4.  Past problems included having to use the makeinfo from
Chuck Wilson's distribution rather than relying on the standard cygwin,
as well as places where the gcc makefiles didn't take account of .exe
suffixes.  No doubt that problem still has to be worked around if
rebuilding gcc-2.95.2.
