Bug ID: 91139
Summary: Attempts, fails to rebuild doc/gcc.info in tarball
release build
Product: gcc
Version: 9.1.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: other
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: skunk at iskunk dot org
Target Milestone: ---
There may be one or two bugs in this report.
I am bootstrapping from a release tarball on a Solaris system. The system has
makeinfo 4.7 installed, which the GCC configure script finds.
At a certain point in the build, I get this error:
[...]

Bug-1 is that the build is attempting to rebuild an info file, which should not
even be happening in the first place with an unmodified release tarball.
Bug-2 is the "No such file" error, which appears to be due to Texinfo syntax
processing erroneously being applied to the file path (note how "gcc--9.1.0"
becomes "gcc-9.1.0", despite only the former being valid for this build).
The second bug would be moot if not for the first.
