Sorry, I was wrong. I didn't look carefully enough.

What happens, is "make" returning with an error, which causes building
to abort:


...
Doing info in libiberty
make[2]: Entering directory
`/users/rtems/src/rpms/BUILD/rtems-4.9-i386-rtems4.9-gdb-6.7/build/libiberty'

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.
