Hello, sorry to dredge up this old patch, but it seems to not be working for me. I copied the attachment and replaced "configure.patch" in gumstix-buildroot/toolchain/binutils/2.17.50.0.6 with it.
I am using revision 1614 on Hardy Heron.
I only get "makeinfo missing" If I try and compile in java support. I have a successful c++ enabled fileystem, however when I add the options:

- Build/install java compiler and libgcj
- classpath
- jamvm
- zlib headers in target

to the configuration via "make menuconfig" in the gumstix-buildroot directory, i still get the missing makeinfo error:

    for f in fastjar.info fastjar.info-[0-9] fastjar.info-[0-9][0-9] fastjar.i[0-9] fastjar.i[0-9][0-9]; do \
    if test -f $f; then mv $f $backupdir; restore=mv; else :; fi; \
    done; \
    if /root/new/gumstix-buildroot/toolchain_build_arm_nofpu/gcc-4.1.1/missing makeinfo --split-size=5000000 --split-size=5000000 -I /root/new/gumstix-buildroot/toolchain_build_arm_nofpu/gcc-4.1.1/fastjar/../gcc/doc/include -I /root/new/gumstix-buildroot/toolchain_build_arm_nofpu/gcc-4.1.1/fastjar \
    -o fastjar.info `test -f 'fastjar.texi' || echo '/root/new/gumstix-buildroot/toolchain_build_arm_nofpu/gcc-4.1.1/fastjar/'`fastjar.texi; \
    then \
    rc=0; \
    else \
    rc=$?; \
    $restore $backupdir/* `echo "./fastjar.info" | sed 's|[^/]*$||'`; \
    fi; \
    rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc
yes
checking whether fprintf_unlocked is declared... WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if
         you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
         indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. The spurious
         call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX,
         DU, IRIX). You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
         the `GNU make' package. Grab either from any GNU archive site.

I have tried editing configure.in directly (in gumstix-buildroot/toolchain_build_arm_nofpu/binutils-2.17.50.0.6/, but that just leads to problems because it starts messing up other patches somehow.

Does anyone have any ideas or need more info?
Thanks in advance
