 If this is a complete log, that indicates that texi2dvi is trying to use
 makeinfo to expand macros, rather than TeX - you need to investigate why.  
 @gol is defined in different ways for TeX and info because of differences
 between how the two implementations of macro expansion work; texi2dvi -e
 is unlikely to work.  The texinfo.tex included with GCC is sufficiently
 recent that texi2dvi should detect that it supports macro expansion.
