Jeff Law has this applied to EGCS' texinfo/ subdirectory already, but
it isn't in devo.  I want to look at the texinfo source to see what is
going on before I apply it.

I know this is sleazy as hell.  The "right" fix is much more complicated
and is almost never worthwhile in code this ugly.  I did a big-old
analysis of this in October for EGCS.   This patch is applied there
and is required to allow GDB to build on systems that define TIOCGETC
but don't have struct tchars.
