do_compile log failure

As with the recent binutils texinfo5 incompatibility I believe GCC now also has the same failings, please see attached log.

I have found a couple of patches which address the situation but I haven't been able to apply them cleanly:

We will fix it with gcc 4.8 in 1.5 timeframe.

FYI: eglibc-2.16 also has this problem

I'm downgrading texinfo in my chroot, because I'm still building also from danny branches, but it would be nice to fix eglibc for dylan.
Comment 7 Martin Jansa 2013-04-11 12:40:34 UTC 
Updated summary to include eglibc, fixing gcc+qemu is not enough to build images on distros with texinfo-5, so we should keep this bug open until other components are fixed as well.
Comment 8 Paul Eggleton 2013-09-19 14:56:28 UTC 
I'm assuming this is now fixed; can anyone confirm?
Comment 9 Jack Mitchell 2013-09-19 15:39:16 UTC 
I have texinfo5 on my host and have not run into any issues with it recently.
Comment 10 Saul Wold 2013-09-23 17:37:35 UTC 
Closing this as we believe it's fixed now.  We can reopen if this is still and 
issue.
