Well, I saw it before but forgot to mention. After that I skipped building
info files. Today I editted gdb/doc/Makefile and also built these files.

Well, I'll try it when I'll build it next time.

Maybe I also check building under Linux sometime like:

	./configure 	--build=i386-slackware-gnu \
			--host=i586-pc-msdosdjgpp \
			--target=i586-pc-msdosdjgpp \
			--prefix=/dev/env/DJDIR \
			--with-included-gettext
	make

I think it should build DJGPP binaries without problems now from original 
sources (only problem for me is that it's hard to use such build for
RHIDE)
