GNU time-1.7 built right out of the box on my djgpp setup, except for
the section of the makefile that installs the info file---the file
`time.info' isn't found on my 8.3 system (although every other LFN in
this build was handled okay).

From the makefile:

./mkinstalldirs /temp/info
for file in time.info; do		\
  for ifile in `cd . && echo $file*`; do \
    c:/djgpp/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 ./$ifile /temp/info/$ifile; \
  done;					\
done

and the result on my system when I run `make install':

c:/djgpp/bin/ginstall: ./time.info*: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
make.exe: *** [install-info] Error 1

Is there a simple, or canonical, way to deal with this situation?

Relatedly:

% ls time.inf
time.inf
% ls time.info
time.info
% ls time.infinity
time.infinity

What is going on here?  The only file truly present is `time.inf'.

TIA---jtw
