I would love to see a fix for the issue of the build failing if you
don't have makeinfo installed... I think it's already fixed but I don't
know if it was applied to the branch. I can look up the bug # if
needed.
I have GDB embedded in a complete cross-compiler build suite and this
failure means I have to configure the build servers specially to install
makeinfo (normally it's not installed). So it's a small thing, in
general, but it has a disproportionately large impact on my personal
setup.
Cheers!
