I don't know strace (just skimmed through the description) but it's
result is intriguing.  With makeinfo 4.8, I get

bronger@wilson:~/xml/rwth-zeitung/pool/doc> strace makeinfo --xml zml 2>&1 =
| grep -i locale
open("/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) =3D -1 ENOENT =
(No such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY) =3D 5
read(5, "# Locale name alias data base.\n#"..., 4096) =3D 2528
open("/usr/lib/locale/de_DE/LC_TIME", O_RDONLY) =3D 5
open("/usr/lib/locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES", O_RDONLY) =3D 5
open("/usr/lib/locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/SYS_LC_MESSAGES", O_RDONLY) =3D 5
open("/usr/lib/locale/de_DE/LC_CTYPE", O_RDONLY) =3D 5
open("/usr/lib/locale/de_DE/LC_COLLATE", O_RDONLY) =3D 5
open("/usr/local//share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/texinfo.mo", O_RDONLY) =3D 6

and with CVS makeinfo simply nothing!  As far as I can see, this
means that my CVS makeinfo does not even try to find the .mo file,
right?  However, I can't find any error message in the ./configure
or "make all" output.
