Subject: [Rd] R-devel cross-building
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.21.0301051722180.6408-100000@gstat307.stat.wisc.edu>

I was cross-building R-devel (1.7.0). The tail of the error message
from running make on a machine with makeinfo (GNU texinfo 3.12) 1.68
is at the end of this email. The same procedure went fine on a machine
with makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.1. 

My first guess is that the version of makeinfo is causing this. However,
this didn't happen with R-1.6.2beta. Please advise.
