Thanks for the review.

I've posted it to the gcc ml: 
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2022-October/602797.html .

There's https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14678 which is 
mostly about the GDBvn.texi issue, which should already be fixed by 
commit ab954e4a53c ("Fix building gdb release from tar file without 
makeinfo").

But there's indeed duplicate 
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20417 which does mention 
--without-makeinfo.

Thanks,
