Thanks for everyone's help!  In summary:

1)  "makeinfo" is part of the "texinfo" distribution, which can be optained

    from prep.ai.mit.edu via anonymous ftp.

2)  The gcc install scripts don't modify the Sun include files, they modify

    copies of them -- much better!

Thanks again,

Kurt McCall
