Unfortunatly I have not seen this problem before, but with bnu217br1.zip I get
the following error message when I compile texinfo:

gcc  -g -O2   -o ginfo.exe dir.o display.o dribble.o echo-area.o filesys.o footnotes.o gc.o indices.o info-utils.o info.o infodoc.o infomap.o m-x.o man.o nodemenu.o nodes.o search.o session.o signals.o terminal.o tilde.o variables.o window.o doc.o ../lib/libtxi.a ../gnulib/lib/libgnu.a   
c:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe: section .ctors [0001a978 -> 0001a97b] overlaps section .text [00001a60 -> 000467ff]
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make.exe[3]: *** [ginfo.exe] Error 1

I have compared the linker scripts generated by me today with the ones
distributed with /beta/v2gnu/bnu217b.zip.  They differe.  This surprissed me
very much because I assumed that the binaries can be produced as described by
the readme file in the source package.  Even worse, if I substitute the new linker
scripts with the old ones the same failure happens.
I am not familiar enough with linker scripts and binutils so some help would
be seriously appreciated.

Regards,
Juan M. Guerrero

The diffs below shows the difference between old and new linker scripts:
