As Joseph (who is the expert on that) wrote we actually require makeinfo
4.2 for GCC and I agree that it should we checked automatically, as per
your patch.

Still, what I can do, and have in fact considered for the 3.3 branch also
before, is using --no-split instead of --split-size, as it shouldn't make
a difference there (except, in fact working around a "feature" of
--split-size in currently released versions of texinfo).

Bootstrapped and installed the 3.3-branch on i386-unknown-freebsd4.8,
committed to the 3.3-branch.

	* Makefile.tpl (MAKEINFOFLAGS): Use --no-split instead of
	--split-size.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerate.
