I ran into the following problem building libtool under cygwin-1.7
(makeinfo from texinfo-4.8a-1):

makeinfo -I doc -I
/usr/src/packages/libtool/22/libtool-2.2.7a-10/src/libtool/doc -o
/usr/src/packages/libtool/22/libtool-2.2.7a-10/src/libtool/doc/libtool.info
/usr/src/packages/libtool/22/libtool-2.2.7a-10/src/libtool/doc/libtool.texi

/usr/src/packages/libtool/22/libtool-2.2.7a-10/src/libtool/doc/libtool.texi:5485:
 @include `PLATFORMS': Too many open files.
/usr/src/packages/libtool/22/libtool-2.2.7a-10/src/libtool/doc/libtool.texi:6191:
 @include `fdl.texi': Too many open files.
makeinfo: Removing output file
`/usr/src/packages/libtool/22/libtool-2.2.7a-10/src/libtool/doc/libtool.info'
due to errors; use --force to preserve.

When using the same version of makeinfo under cygwin-1.5, there are no
problems.  I see that Eric asked about (the same?) problem over on
bug-texinfo, but I don't see any resolution. It looks like a cygwin-1.7
problem, not a texinfo problem, to me...

Eric, did anything ever come of this?
