I don't know if this is a gendocs.sh bug or a texi2dvi bug. I tried running gendocs.sh with TMPDIR set to a directory with ~ in the name: $ echo $TMPDIR /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/eblake/LOCALS~1/Temp
By itself, 'make dvi' worked just fine. But when it was invoked by gendocs, texi2dvi got confused by the ~ in directory name: |... | Generating dvi ... (texi2dvi -t @finalout "/home/eblake/m4- patch/doc/m4.texinfo") | This is e-TeXk, Version 3.141592-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) | file:line:error style messages enabled. | %&-line parsing enabled. | entering extended mode | !

In the meantime, I've just changed TMPDIR to work around the problem. -- Eric Blake
