Are you trying to build a snapshot or the release? I have updated the 
release so that it is now no longer snapshot-like. The new tarball is 
now generated the same way GDB's release is, and it contains (should 
contain) all the files pre-generated so that you only need to be able to 
compile successfully in order to build it.

Nonetheless, it is still a good idea for you to investigate updating 
your versions of make and gcc. If you are going to try to build a 
snapshot, you will also need yacc, flex, bison, and makeinfo (maybe 
more). The output you included thought that your system did not have 
makeinfo installed. So I would at least investigate updating/installing 
that.
