            Bug ID: 18113
           Summary: GDB 7.9 fails to build when makeinfo is not installed
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.9
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: compile
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: wpoely86 at gmail dot com

This bug is more or less the same as
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14678 , only this one is for
GDB 7.9.

If you don't have makeinfo installed, the make will fail:

line 81: makeinfo: command not found
WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or
         any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.
         You might want to install the Texinfo package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
         The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of
         using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might
         want to install GNU make:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/make/>

This is because the missing script passes the return code (127) from the failed
call to makeinfo to make. Setting MAKEINFO=true (or false) will not help
because the configure script does a version check on makeinfo.
