I've been using the same build script to build msp430 gcc
toolchains for 5 years, but it recently stopped working because
makeinfo is "missing":

  mkdir -p -- ./libiberty
  Configuring in ./libiberty
  configure: creating cache ./config.cache
  checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
  checking for makeinfo... /home/grante//toolchain/src/binutils-2.17/missing 
makeinfo --split-$
  configure: WARNING:
  *** Makeinfo is missing. Info documentation will not be built.
  checking for perl... perl
  checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
  
Then later the "make install" fails because the .info files are missing.

Except makeinfo _isn't_ missing:

  $ which makeinfo
  /usr/bin/makeinfo

  $ makeinfo --version
  makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.11

I've even run a few .texi files through makeinfo and it
generated .info files just fine.

Why does the build process think makeinfo is missing?
