Binutils 2.18 - makeinfo issue

[Greg Schafer <gschafer at zip dot com dot au>]

Hi,

This is really only a minor annoyance but the build of this release craps
out if `makeinfo' is too old. This doesn't happen with 2.17. It appears
there's a tiny nit in the `make dist' release procedure somewhere.

Thanks
Greg

WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system.  You should only need it if
         you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
         indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.  The spurious
         call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX,
         DU, IRIX).  You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
         the `GNU make' package.  Grab either from any GNU archive site.
