I don't think this is a bug.
Reading: <http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html>:
Texinfo version 4.2 (or later)
Necessary for running makeinfo when modifying *.texi files to test your changes.
Necessary to build GCC documentation during development because the generated output files are not 
included in the CVS repository. They are included in releases.

This is not a bug for a snapshot.

When you're downloading an SVN snapshot, which is intended for developers,
you do not get much of the automatically generated stuff that's available
in releases. For SVN snapshots, you must read the "modifying GCC" portion
of the pre-requisites documentation.

Agreed.

------- Comment #4 from dave at joot dot com  2006-03-31 05:23 -------
The page at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html under "Tools/packages
necessary for building GCC" does NOT list "Texinfo version 4.4 (or later)" as a
requirement.

I was not intending to modify GCC (as the requirements for modifying it do list
Texinfo). I was intending to compile it. Out of the box compile on my system
failed, and Ranjit's system. Thus a bug, no?  (And even if it still isn't
deemed a bug, the fix is a simple one-liner, which I provided.)

Perhaps the term "modify" implies "CVS" -- if so, perhaps that could be
emphasized on the prerequisite page? That is, "If you download GCC from the
repository (regardless of whether you want to modify it or not), you must have
the following ..."

------- Comment #3 from rmathew at gcc dot gnu dot org  2006-03-31 03:43 -------
FWIW, I am getting the same error with GCC 3.4.6 and I *do have* GNU Texinfo
4.8.

I have FSF GCC 3.4.5 sources and I downloaded GCC 3.4.6 diffs for "core" and
"g++" - the patches applied successfully, but "make bootstrap" terminates with
the same error as reported by the filer. I'm on i686-pc-linux-gnu and the
starting compiler is FSF GCC 3.4.5.

The command for configuration was:

/root/inst/gcc-3.4.6/configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-debug \
--disable-nls --disable-checking --enable-threads=posix \
--enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-__cxa_atexit --with-system-zlib \
--with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as --with-arch=pentium3 --with-tune=pentium3
