+The BFD directory requires bug-fixed AUTOMAKE et.al.
+
+AUTOMAKE 1.4 incorrectly set the TEXINPUTS environment variable. It
+contained the full path to texinfo.tex when it should have only
+contained the directory. The bug has been fixed in the current
+AUTOMAKE sources. Automake snapshots can be found in:
+ ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/gdb/snapshots
+and ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/binutils
