Hello,
I have a problem on LFS v7.4, chapter 5.4.1: Installation of Cross Binutils


'configure' step seemes to be ok.


The 'make' command logs the following lines:
.......
make[2]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build/bfd'
Making info in doc
make[3]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build/bfd/doc'

        rm -rf $backupdir && mkdir $backupdir && \
        if (/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-2.23.2/missing makeinfo 
--split-size=5000000
--split-size=5000000 --version) >/dev/null 2>&1; then \
          for f in bfd.info bfd.info-[0-9] bfd.info-[0-9][0-9] bfd.i[0-9]
bfd.i[0-9][0-9]; do \
            if test -f $f; then mv $f $backupdir; restore=mv; else :; fi; \
          done; \
        else :; fi && \
        if /mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-2.23.2/missing makeinfo

--split-size=5000000   -I ../../../binutils-2.23.2/bfd/doc \
         -o bfd.info `test -f 'bfd.texinfo' || echo
'../../../binutils-2.23.2/bfd/doc/'`bfd.texinfo; \
        then \
          rc=0; \
        else \
          rc=$?; \
          $restore $backupdir/* `echo "./bfd.info" | sed 's|[^/]*$||'`; \
        fi; \
        rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc
WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system.  You should only need it if
         you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
         indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.  The spurious
         call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX,
         DU, IRIX).  You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
         the `GNU make' package.  Grab either from any GNU archive site.

My host is a Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS and the output of version-check.sh is:

PS: Although I'm not using Texinfo-5.1, I tried the tip from the book
"Fix a couple of syntax errors that prevent the documentation from building
with Texinfo-5.1: 
sed -i -e 's/@colophon/@@colophon/' \
       -e 's/d...@cygnus.com/doc@@cygnus.com/' bfd/doc/bfd.texinfo"
but it makes no difference.


Any hint on what's wrong, why the 'makeinfo' is missing?
