Hi all,
when I try to bootstrap gpc, on a TinyCore 7.0 Linux with the necessary extensions installed. I downloaded the source distribution from http://alignment.hep.brandeis.edu/Software/Pascal/gpc-20070904-build.tar.gz and followed the instructions given in http://alignment.hep.brandeis.edu/Software/Pascal/Pascal.html But make aborts with the following error (after quite some time workin and some warnings) during the attempt to create the info files:
... $ makeinfo --version texi2any (GNU texinfo) 6.0 ...
Regards and thanks in advance for any help

Hi Bernhard,
My understanding is that you need makeinfo/texinfo no later than version 4. Otherwise, you will need to (somehow) remove the info file building part. Try just removing makeinfo/texinfo binaries. That's what I did.
texinfo version >= 5 is not compatible with texi source files version <= 4.
For example, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=707195
