You need to rename the files to gcc.10z, gcc.11z, etc., and change the 
indirect file table on gcc.inf so that the files are called gcc.10, 
gcc.11 etc.  I think the README.DJ file in the Texinfo distribution tells 
you about this.

Btw, if you need your disk space that bad, it's best to generate a single
Info file from the Texinfo sources (get them from gcc272s.zip) and
compress that single file.  Not only will you get better compression and
less slack space lost due to the fixed disk cluster size, you also get rid
of the above file-renaming as a bonus :-).
