i've already tried this patch but then i hit this issue:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/13498376/

i don't have packaged makeinfo yet and i don't really care for the
documentation at the moment. i didn't find a ./configure switch to
disable it either. and there is a patch to make it compile without
'makeinfo' which changes doc/local.mk but it seems already applied in
8.24 so what should i do now?

thanks for your help!
