 So, we now have three versions to fix this:

Romain patches gdb to avoid recursing in the doc directory [1][2]
Vicente does the same but with a sed instead of patch [3].
Brendan adds host-texinfo to dependencies (this patch) [4].

 Which one do we choose?

 host-texinfo takes a bit of time to build because it also depends on
host-ncurses, but it's not a huge problem.

 The best solution is adding an upstreamable --disable-doc, but that will take a
bit of work still (esp. because we can't easily autoreconfigure).

 So for me Brendan's patch is fine. What do the others think?


 Regards,
 Arnout
