Sorry, I should have sent the log. However, it seems that you're right. It was probably Perl warning that failed the check suite. Everything went well with Texinfo 6.6. I should bring this up to the LFS team. Building TexInfo 6.6 solved the problem. I guess you won't need the logs since Perl was the issue. Thanks for your help.
