Salutations sunners!

Thanks a lot to all people who sent me a good deal of advices and helped
solving that puzzle:

The final conclusion is that you don't really need makeinfo to build a
functioning GCC compiler. Makeinfo compiles the info files for GNU
software (dicumentation). The gcc-info files are already compiled and
installed.
So you can set a link, that responds to the name, like:
ln -s /usr/bin/true /path/makeinfo
At least, If you will need info files, then just grab makeinfo from a GNU
mirror compile and install the info files again. Perhaps:
'make install-info'
makeinfo utility is a part of the texinfo package. Can be obtained from:
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/makeinfo.README.
Big thanks again. Have a good time!
