makeinfo belongs to the package "texinfo" which you'll need if you
want to use the manuals that come with gcc (they will be installed in
a directory called "info"). If you don't care about this and the
installation fails because "make" can't find makeinfo, just produce an
empty script:
  touch /usr/local/bin/makeinfo
  chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/makeinfo

*But* if you expect to do more with GNU-C/C++ sometime in the future I
would highly recommend that you install texinfo (it's rather easy: FTP
it, unpack, run "configure", run "make install" and it'll be installed
under /usr/local)

Bye,
Jochen
