Hi Ando,
The newer versions of texinfo cause problems for the build. Version
21.1 with the patch seems to require texinfo 4.0. The version in the
CVS (currently 21.3.50) works fine with texinfo 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2.
I suggest getting the Emacs src from CVS
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/
and using texinfo 4.2. That works for me. The code is newer too and
contains many bug fixes! For instructions on how to checkout code
using CVS, see
http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=40
Note that I posted a patch on this mailing list for the current CVS
version last week which I haven't committed to the CVS repository yet.
Andrew.
