Noticed problem configuring GCC build under Win10 which prevented

usable makeinfo from being detected. As result .info files were not built.

Verified that latest version of DJGPP port of GNU grep behaves exactly in the

same way both under Windows Vista and Windows 10. Last package which

did not have this problem was deleted/v2gnu/grep211b.zip. All newer versions

failed to extract acceptable makinfo versions including one from current/v2gnu

-------------------------------------------------------------

#! /bin/sh
set -x

MAKEINFO=/dev/env/DJDIR/bin/makeinfo
grep --version
$MAKEINFO --version
${MAKEINFO} --version | egrep 'texinfo[^0-9]*(4\.([7-9]|[1-9][0-9])|[5-9]|[1-9][0-9])' && echo OK

---------------------------------------------------------------

Checked version which I had on DJGPP Installation under Windows Vista, which I used

for building GCC and it was ancient 2.5.4 (I had followed generic rule - if it is not broken, don't

fix it). There were fresh installation in Windows 10, so I run into trouble

PS. Running the same GCC pre-processor torture tests which showed random failures

with gcc versions beginning from 4.6. My todays build off gcc-6.1.0 seems to survive

just fine under WIn10. Also 'make bootstrap4' went through OK without a problems (except that

info files were missing)
