Bug #: 56258
Summary: Please upgrade doc/*.texi to the latest texinfo
package(s)
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: bootstrap
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: g...@denis-excoffier.org
Bootstrap fails if the last texinfo (currently 4.13.96) is used (this was also
the case with at least 4.13.94 and 4.13.95). It seems that messages
like:
.../install.texi:3133: warning: @anchor should not appear in @heading
or
.../gcc.texi:88: warning: @tex should only appear at a line beginning
make the building of doc/gcc.info to fail. Prepending "-" in front of the
building rule in gcc/Makefile solves the issue, but gcc.info does not get
installed (of course). Plain texinfo-4.13 is OK. I tried with gcc-4.8-20130203
under x86_64-apple-darwin12.2.0 but i suppose this is platform independent.
Please upgrade the *.texi files in order to be able to cope with the most
recent (even alpha) texinfo releases. This is also applicable to the
soon-to-be-released GCC 4.7.3.
Also, perhaps texinfo should be listed in install/prerequisites.html.

Denis Excoffier.
