Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):

 This is actually caused by what looks like a bug in doc/Makefile:

 {{{
 if $(MAKEINFO) $(AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS) $(MAKEINFOFLAGS) -I $(srcdir) \
  -o $@ $<; \
 then \
   rc=0; \
   cd $(srcdir); \
 else \
   rc=$$?; \
   cd $(srcdir) && \
   $$restore $$backupdir/* `echo "./$@" | sed 's|[^/]*$$||'`; \
 fi; \
 }}}

 This presumes that $(MAKEINFO) ('makeinfo' in our case), exists.  Not sure
 what the correct approach here is for upstream...presumably fix the
 autoconf foo that is setting MAKEINFO to a non-existent binary?  Anyway,
 it's been reported at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-
 grep/2007-08/msg00013.html - no response so far though.

 There also appears to be a packaging bug:

 {{{
 ./configure --prefix=/tools \
   --disable-perl-regexp
 checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
 checking whether build environment is sane... yes
 /bin/bash: /home/matthew/sources/grep-2.5.3/missing: No such file or
 directory
 configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing
 }}}

 This doesn't look like it's been reported yet, but I'm not sure how
 critical it is either.
