First, make sure you have the latest version of info.exe (download and
install v2gnu/txi312b.zip).

If that still doesn't work, edit the file info/dir and make sure that
the "make" line there says exactly this:

* make: (make).

This is wrong: the -c switch to GCC tells it to compile only, whereas
what you want is to link the object files into an executable.  A
linking command line should not include -c.
