 OK, the problem appears to be that the test for texinfo.tex being recent
 enough for macro expansion is done in a temporary directory, but the
 TEXINPUTS setting (from the -I arguments) pointing to the right
 texinfo.tex to use still includes relative paths.  Report this to the
 Texinfo maintainers as a Texinfo bug.  As a workaround, install a
 sufficiently recent (at least 19990129) texinfo.tex version in a directory
 TeX searches by default, or set TEXINPUTS to point to such a directory
 before running texi2dvi; if macro support is detected, the right version
 of texinfo.tex (that included with GCC) will then be used for the actual
 formatting.

 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.

I configured as:
configure --prefix=/home/jdeifik
I successfully build the main gcc,
when I tried to make the dvi, I got a bunch of errors
I installed the latest texi2dvi, 4.2

Here is what the makefile produces:
jdeifik@electrasun1:/home/jdeifik/work/gnu/jeff-native-gcc:1 make dvi^M^M

This goes on for many lines, as the '@gol' is used many
times in invoke.texi. 
This is with "This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.2)"
I can make the dvi successfully for gcc 2.95.3
