I just manually copied `maxima.system.fasb` to
`$SAGE_LOCAL/lib/ecl/maxima.fas`, hoping that this was correct.
(Currently running `ptestlong` with Sage 5.5.rc0 on Ubuntu 10.04.4 x86,
i.e., an old Pentium4 with currently just 1 GB RAM, which will take
ages...)
Or should we keep the new name (`.fas` or `.fasb`?), probably having to
make changes elsewhere?

Presumably yes, I was thinking of the same... (Although IMHO `configure`
should have checked whether `makeinfo` is available in advance, in order
to eventually skip a few things later.)
Probably similar for some autotools-generated files, although at least
some of the warnings were present in previous spkg logs as well. (I
personally don't mind, but these may annoy a few users actually reading or
grepping the logs, or watching the build process... We occasionally get
"needless" questions regarding such on the IRC.)
