Eli, Joseph,

I can confirm that using the default texinfo.tex (by just leaving
src/texinfo out of the search path) successfully generates PostScript
under FC9 Linux.

I supplied the EPS diagram for the GDB Internal Manual with the file
name using a hyphen. It needs to use an underscore to work correctly.

The separate issue that "make ps" does not work from the top level
remains.

I will log this in Bugzilla.
