I saw a similar problem on RedHat 7.3 (it comes with gcc-2.96).
I think it is somewhere in makeinfo detection.
I solved this via either
1) using binutils-2.17 instead of binutils-2.18
2) editing the Makefiles so that not to build documentation in bfd
3) dirtily patching binutils-2.18/missing (I realize this is almost
certainly not the right file, but it just worked for me):

I believe this problem has been fixed in CVS already.
Hope this helps,
