-: The DJGPP port of Binutils 2.11.2 has been released.

In the bnu2112b.zip archive (just to name an example; I'm pretty sure
I've run into this with other archives) the following info files use
indirect references into *.info-N subfiles:

     2367  06-26-01 20:49   info/ld.info
     9189  06-26-01 20:49   info/as.info
     2541  06-26-01 20:49   info/binutils.info

This one, however, has indirect references to *.iN files:

     1604  06-26-01 20:49   info/gprof.info

The result was that, following installation of bnu2112b (which otherwise
unzips with .iN files), info worked for `gprof', but not for `ld', `as',
or `binutils' until I edited the latter and changed the .info-N extension
to .iN.

Technically the problem seems to be an inconsistent naming of info files
in this archive, but should `info' be clever enough to look for the .iN
extension (at least on non-LFN systems) if the requested .info-N extension
can't be found?
