Agree, but i thought that this may be a bit more intrusive than touching the one invalid invocation. Providing an empty info: and perhaps also html: would be the cleanest thing. >From the looks, html: may also be needed since gcc/Makefile.in reads: TEXI2HTML = $(MAKEINFO) --html OTOH, html is apparently not in the default install target, so if somebody requests it explicitely, it may be ok to fail noisily. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27516
