Compiling info.c on solaris 2 produces:

./info.c:4158: storage size of `original_ltchars' isn't known

Compilation command line is:

gcc -O -c -g -DDEFAULT_INFOPATH='".:/doe/public/gnu/info:/usr/gnu/info:/usr/local/emacs/info:/usr/local/lib/emacs/info"' -DINFO_PRINT_COMMAND='"lpr"'  -DUSGr3=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DUSG=1 -DHAVE_ALLOCA_H=1 ./info.c

I'm a little suspicious that USGr3 is defined in this environment, but this
doesn't seem to be directly related.  

Patch: (not the best, but it does address the immediate problem)

After the file inclusions add:

#if defined(sun) && defined(__svr4__)
#undef TIOCGETC
#undef TIOCGLTC
#endif

Problem installing texinfo-2.16 under SunOS4.1.1 using Sun make and cc:
Installing using --prefix seems to require running Makefile thru sed
to fix it two places to get it to obey prefix.

Here are the steps I had to follow; IMHO, the configure script should
have modified the main Makefile, not just C/Makefile.
- Dan Kegel

# Unpacking and compilation
# Unpack and configure texinfo
cd $dir
zcat texinfo-2.16.tar.Z | tar xvf -
patch texinfo-2.16/C/configure < dan.patch
cd $dir/texinfo-2.16/C
configure --prefix=/usr/local/gnu
cd $dir/texinfo-2.16
if (! -f Makefile.orig) cp Makefile Makefile.orig
sed -e 's,prefix = /usr/local,prefix = /usr/local/gnu,' \
    -e 's,./fixfonts,prefix=$(prefix) ./fixfonts,'< Makefile.orig > Makefile
make all

### Installation (while root or psuedouser)
# Install texinfo
mkdir /usr/local/gnu/lib/{tex,tex/inputs,tex/fonts}
# Following line only works if you have TeX installed in /usr/local/tex
ln -s /usr/local/tex/lib/fonts/* /usr/local/gnu/lib/tex/fonts
cd $dir/texinfo-2.16
make install
