i386-mingw32-binutils 2.16.91-20060119-1 Build Error

[john-dev@…]

This is a dependency of i386-mingw32-gcc which I am trying to build. The error apparently occurs when building the info. A similar error appears in i386-elf-gcc ticket #15113 which was closed two weeks ago, but there is no indication as to the nature of the problem or a work-around.

         the `GNU make' package.  Grab either from any GNU archive site.
