heh. using with installed makeinfo 4.0 in path:
makeinfo --split-size=5000000 -I../../src/libiberty ../../src/libiberty/libiberty.texi
makeinfo: unrecognized option `--split-size=5000000'
Try `makeinfo --help' for more information.
[...]
gmake[1]: *** [libiberty.info] Error 1
8-)
options are:
(1) remove --split-size use (go with --no-split instead), which is
compatible with earlier texinfo. (This which has been done on the
gcc 3.3 branch, but *not* on trunk.)
(2) require texinfo 4.2 or later. (done on gcc & src trunk.)
(3) both.
(1) gets rid of the error above, but apparently there are other
reasons (they've been kicked out of my memory, see the thread on gcc@
8-) which 4.2 and later are desirable.
