I realize that this isn't what was being asked, but I thought I'd mention this..

I tried cross building texinfo 4.2f for the msdosdjgpp target and the configure
went through ok, but during make, the build process attempts to execute
'makedoc' (one of the target binaries) which of course fails to execute since
what was built was makedoc.exe for use with dos/win32 target not linux.  The
makedoc.exe did seem functional under the correct environment although the build
fails with the error: unable to execute 'makedoc'.
