To quote my previous report: Stefano> ./bfd/doc/Makefile.in:AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = 1.9 cygnus Stefano> ./bfd/doc/Makefile.in:# cygnus option. Stefano> ./bfd/doc/Makefile.am:AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = 1.9 cygnus Stefano> ./bfd/doc/Makefile.am:# cygnus option. But this is a reason not to remove it; or at least to restore the previous handling of info files. I don't care about the cygnus option per se. It was always a grab bag of hacks. The issue is removing a feature that an important user relies on. So far the suggested replacements haven't seemed that good to me. Tom
