gpc bootstrapping fails on makeinfo

Hi all,

when I try to bootstrap gpc, on a TinyCore 7.0 Linux with the necessary
extensions installed. I downloaded the source distribution from 
http://alignment.hep.brandeis.edu/Software/Pascal/gpc-20070904-build.tar.gz
and followed the instructions given in 
http://alignment.hep.brandeis.edu/Software/Pascal/Pascal.html
But make aborts with the following error (after quite some time workin and some
warnings) during the attempt to create the info files:

[...]

I'm neither an autoconf nor a make guru so I am lost. I have no idea how I
could tell make/configure to skip the step for creation of the documentation.
I guess that it is almost done, but I am not sure about that, I tried to install
with 

   sudo make pascal.install-with -gcc

which did something, but also ended with errors, which look very similar to the 
errors I hadbefore:

[...]

Although 
	gpc --version
now works. But I cannot compile anything. Going to demos and trying
	gpc hello.pas -o hello
yields
	gpc: installation problem, cannot exec gpc1: No such file or directory

Here are the versions of the different tools used:

	$ bash --version
	GNU bash, version 4.3.39(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
	...
	$ bzip2 --version
	bzip2, a block-sorting file compressor.  Version 1.0.6, 6-Sept-2010.
	...
	$ sed --version
	sed (GNU sed) 4.2.2
	...
	$ awk --version
	GNU Awk 4.1.3, API: 1.1 (GNU MPFR 3.1.3-p4, GNU MP 6.0.0)
	...
	$ m4 --version
	m4 (GNU M4) 1.4.17
	...
	$ bison --version
	bison (GNU Bison) 3.0.4
	...
	$ flex --version
	flex 2.5.39
	...
	$ autoconf --version
	autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69
	...
	$ makeinfo --version
	texi2any (GNU texinfo) 6.0
	...
	$ help2man --version
	GNU help2man 1.46.1

Regards and thanks in advance for any help
