>Description:

	There are two problems with the install of gmake after it is 
	built which involve install-info.  It is more or less serious
	because if you are trying to build something else, the build
	stops (even though the /usr/local/bin/gmake does get installed.)
	

- - - - - - - - - -
	1) Makefile.in is calling install-info with "--infodir" rather
	than "--info-dir".

(from Makefile.in.orig)
209:      install-info --infodir=$(infodir) $$dir/make.info; \

	So we wind up with:

	install-info --infodir=/usr/local/info $dir/make.info;  
	   else true; fi
	install-info: unrecognized option `--infodir=/usr/local/info'
        Try `install-info --help' for a complete list of options.
	*** Error code 1

	Stop.

(from install-info --help)
--info-dir=DIR    Same as --dir-file=DIR/dir.

- - - - - - - - - -
	
	2) Once that is corrected, we still have a problem:

install-info --info-dir=/usr/local/info $dir/make.info;  else true; fi
install-info: no info dir entry in `./make.info'


Which after having RTFSC tells me that the make.info file doesn't
have a START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY [...] END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY section.  I notice
that of all the .info files I have lying around only gnats.info and m4.info 
have this section, and they were created with Makeinfo 1.55 while the
-current version is 1.67. 

Is there some switch that has to get thrown for makeinfo to DTRT?  



>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
	
1) Give install-info the correct command line

2) unknown what the right thing is to do about the INFO-DIR-ENTRY
   problem
