      Hi again Mikael,

  I've put crossgcc-list back in the Cc: line because then all these
questions and answers get archived and people who have the same trouble
in the future can search the archive and find answers :)

  It is more difficult than it ought to be, and part of the problem is
that the FAQs, HOWTOs and other documents are often out-of-date with
regard to what the source code says and does, so there's a certain 
amount of unwritten knowledge that you can only gain by experience,
trial-and-error, and best of all by talking to other people on the lists
who've been down the same path!

  These files are the documentation for the preprocessor and the main
compiler itself.  They are made from the various *.texi files in the
gcc source tree.  There is a problem with cygwin and gettext, I don't
know exactly what it is, but to make it work properly you have to use
the --with-included-gettext flag to configure - you have done this - 
and *also* you must get rid of the texinfo subdirectory in the top
level source code directory:

 cd ....path..../gcc-2.95.3/
 mv texinfo old.texinfo

  That should make the .info files build properly.

  No no no!!! That isn't "install -info" !  It is "install-info", and
it's not a command line at all, it is a target in the makefile, that
refers to installing the info files: you will also find targets like
"install-gcc" and "install-libstdc++" in the makefile, and when you do
a "make install", you will see that the "install" target is defined
as a list of these other "install-*" targets.

  It's a silly joke.  "All your base are belong to us" is a quotation
from an old video game that was very badly translated from japanese to
english.  It has become an internet in-joke.  My variation of it refers
to the recent incident in the fighting between the Israelis and the 
Palestinians when the Israeli army invaded a small part of the west bank
and occupied a Palestinian security forces' base - and then un-invaded it
just a few hours later following diplomatic pressure from the USA.  Since
it was a security *base* that briefly belonged to them, I got the idea
to make an in-joke of an in-joke.  I may have to give it up though, 
people keep on asking me to explain.....
