             Bug #: 15345
           Summary: [2.23.2 regression] binutils-2.23.2 tarball doesn't
                    build without makeinfo
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.23
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: admin
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden
    Classification: Unclassified


Building from unmodified release tarballs shouldn't require makeinfo, but with
binutils-2.23.2 a missing makeinfo causes a hard build error:

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.

binutils-2.23.1 builds fine on the same system (a very basic CentOS 6.4/x86_64)
with the same configuration options and build procedure.  My guess is that some
files weren't properly regenerated before the release was tarred up.
