1. texinfo is still break build.

Uh, how??  The errors I reported the last few daws?

Why do you want to do that?  By default, you'll get ELF binaries using
the *.so libraries. Why build COFF binaries on OSR 5???

In what way? 

Have you had a look at http://egcs.cygnus.com/faq.html#autoconf/bison++ ?
Does your problem still occur if you use the script there[1]?

Thanks, I applied those few lines of touch commands, but now it barfs
further on with:

        make[3]: Entering directory `/s/tools/egcs/obj/texinfo/po'
        file=../../../texinfo/po/`echo de | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \
          ?? rm -f $file ?? PATH=../src:$PATH msgfmt -o $file
          ../../../texinfo/po/de.po
          /bin/sh: msgfmt: not found
\end{quotation}

(when I create /usr/local/bin/msgfmt as dummy script, which return true, all all.

the configure command was  ../egcs/configure --enable-shared. It was break.

currently I have no *.so under /usr/local/lib/i586-pc-sco3.2v5.0.4/egcs-2.91.19/

So, it does not do .so libraries by default.
(Or I missing somethimg ?)

Bu I have autoconf/bison.

I describe, how I finish configuring in previous posting
(cp /dev/NULL texinfo/pod/PODFILES;   set msgfmt to dummy script, which
return true).

If you need the know, is promlem go away after applying this script(i.e.
autoconf/bison),
I can test this.

THis has been discussed on the list before.   Patches have been disucssed,
though I'm unsure what percentage of them have been committed.

I believe enable-shared to be unnecessary on OpenServer becuase we already
multilib everything in sight generating COFF, ELF, and ELF+PIC versions.
--enable-shared tries to 'dumb down' this logic and it loses.

If there's something specific that enable-shared does that you see isn't
being done by the default 'make bootstrap' on OpenServer, please provide
details.

That's a good point.

Perhaps we should change that "#autoconf/bison++" to "#generated_files"
or similiar (and only keep the old name for backwards compatibility) to
avoid further confusion? -- Jeff?

Done.  Note that the link header still mentions bison, autoconf,
automake, etc since that's what I suspect more folks will actually
be looking for.
