Can you be more specific about this 'most annoying' problem, please
? I haven't built a new system recently, but the system I'm using
at the moment [ 20101229 with newer groff and xz-utils ] shows the
following in 'info' on my completed system -
* Menu:
Archiving
* Cpio: (cpio). Copy-in-copy-out archiver to tape or
* disk.
* Tar: (tar). Making tape (or disk) archives.
Basics
* Bash: (bash). The GNU Bourne-Again SHell.
* Common options: (inetutils)Common options.
Common options.
* Ed: (ed). The GNU line editor
* Inetutils: (inetutils). GNU networking utilities.
* Coreutils: (coreutils). Core GNU (file, text, shell)
* utilities.
* Date input formats: (coreutils)Date input formats.
* File permissions: (coreutils)File permissions.
Access modes.
* Finding files: (find). Operating on files matching certain
* criteria.
C++ libraries
* autosprintf: (autosprintf). Support for printf format strings in
* C++.
Compression
* Gzip: (gzip). General (de)compression of files
* (lzw).
Development
* Com_err: (com_err). A Common Error Description Library
* for UNIX.
(and so forth).
Is this, perhaps, a problem with a newer version of something else,
e.g. gcc-4.6 ? Perhaps I'm misinterpreting what you mean by "file
list".
