Yeah. Cygwin does something different when it comes to texinfo, I don't
quite know what. Assuming you've got all the documentation you need already,
the quickest way to get round this problem and carry on compiling is to
touch gcc.info; touch cpp.info
...works for me, anyway. (Beware; when it comes to installation this will
of course overwrite any installed gcc.info or cpp.info with blank files, so
if you already have working copies of those files, you might want to save
them somewhere.)
