Summary:                    error compiling in debian (it says makeinfo is
missing even though it is installed and in the $PATH)
Description: 
I get this: http://bugs.uclibc.org/bug_view_advanced_page.php?bug_id=1238
-- there is no option like in bugzilla here where i can request to reopen
an issue -- so I'm re-creating it here.

it was closed but I doubt that the person who closed it was using Ubuntu.
I say this since I can reproduce this persons problem on Debian (yes I
have texinfo/makeinfo installed).

I'm using:

$ makeinfo --version
makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.11
