For me, '--disable-doc' makes no difference with the unpatched code. Same errors. Sorry.

This means that /usr/share/docbook2X and /usr/bin/docbook2x-texi are missing. Consequently, no *.info* file is produced. Nevertheless, i tried to compile cygwin from sources (newlib-cygwin-3.3.6.tar.bz2), knowing that "Normally, building ignores any errors in building the documentation" (see https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin) The behaviour was changed by [1], but unfortunately the documentation change that contains has not yet been published. Use the configure option '--disable-doc'. [1] https://cygwin.com/git/?p=newlib-cygwin.git;a=commitdiff;h=f4a26ececa180cec70c41b6dd2082ff730f92065 However, in order to 'make' and then 'make install' properly, i had to apply the following easy patch (below).
