I was cross-building R-devel (1.7.0). The tail of the error message from running make on a machine with makeinfo (GNU texinfo 3.12) 1.68 is at the end of this email. The same procedure went fine on a machine with makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.1.
My first guess is that the version of makeinfo is causing this. However, this didn't happen with R-1.6.2beta. Please advise.
