Any specifics about the build platform? Did anything change (updated tools,...)? Yesterday I built a fresh gcc 2 with hrev42950 just fine on my system.

Replying to bonefish:

OK, I could test with it, too. I'm using VMware player on Windows Vista to run Haiku.

Should be fixed in hrev43012.

I forgot: you need to update the buildtools checkout, too.

This problem is back.

As you can see, the info file is newer than the texinfo one (it was touched properly), but the gcc build system seems to want to regenerate it anyway.

This is hrev44655, trying to build the ARM version of gcc4.

Fixed in btrev43046 & hrev44803 by forcing the use of the POSIX locale (apparently, makeinfo gets confused by other locales).
