Your original patch is OK for 4.1 -- but I would like the fix I suggested for 4.2. Also, we don't like to fix a problem on a release branch without also having a fix in mainline. Therefore, would you please test: (a) for 4.1, your original patch (b) for 4.2/mainline, a patch along the lines I suggested above, together with removing checks for BUILD_INFO from */Make-lang.in ? > OTOH, html is apparently not in the default install target, so if somebody > requests it explicitely, it may be ok to fail noisily. Yes, I think we can avoid this complication for HTML. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27516
