[Buildroot] GNU BInutils and TeXinfo v. 4.11 - patch proposed

[Rick Foos <rick@synchromeshcomputing.com>]

Hi,

I started having the makeinfo problem on Fedora 7 x86_64 after the update to 
texinfo and texinfo-tex to 4.11-1.fc7

Dimitry's patch resolved the problem.

I am using binutils 2.18.50.0.1, and built with the patch file placed in 
toolchain/binutils-2.18.50.0.1

So I guess I'm seconding the motion that it be included.

Thanks!
Rick Foos
