I'm trying to compile the gnu avr toolchain on Fedora 7. The first step is to compile binutils with target=avr. I downloaded binutils-2.18 and used this configure incantation: ../configure --prefix=$PREFIX --target=avr --disable-nls But when I run make I get the following errors on makeinfo shown below. I Googled a bit and discovered this thread http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=9173&sid=3b98720de0d961a8e696f5f7a68f780d which describes the same problem and suggests upgrading to texinfo-4.9. Does anyone here have a better idea?

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.
