Version:	GDB 4.6
Build:		./configure sparc-sun-sunos411 -prefix=/usr/local/gnu
Compiler:	/usr/lang/cc

Description:

   The file 'gdb-4.6/readline/readline.c' returns a warning when
   compiled. The result of the alloca() call is not typecast to (char *).

   cc -c -g    -I. -I./../  -DVOID_SIGHANDLER -DVI_MODE readline.c
   "readline.c", line 3885: warning: illegal combination of pointer
    and integer, op =

   Line 3885: replacement = alloca (strlen (matches[0]) + 2);


Description:

   'make install-info' requires a 'make info' to happen beforehand.
   It seems to me that the target `install-info` should have a
   dependency on the target 'info'. Also, neither configure.texi nor
   standards.texi are in the distribution but both are referenced by
   the Makefile to be installed when the 'install-info' target is
   selected.

   socrates: make install-info
   ...
   make subdir_do DO=install-info "DODIRS=doc"
   for i in *.info* ; do \
   	install -c $i /usr/local/gnu/info/$i ; \
   done
   install -c cfg-paper.info /usr/local/gnu/info/cfg-paper.info
   install: cfg-paper.info: No such file or directory
   *** Error code 1
   make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-info'
