Hello!

This error occurs during my recent build, and it seems related to
the new texinfo import:

     #    create  libbfd/bfd.info
     /home/xxxx/netbsd/src/../hpcarm/tools/bin/nbmakeinfo 
-I/home/xxxx/netbsd/src/gnu/dist/binutils/bfd/doc --no-split -o bfd.info 
/home/xxxx/netbsd/src/gnu/dist/binutils/bfd/doc/bfd.texinfo
     bfd.info: Bad address
     bfd.info: Bad address
     makeinfo: Removing output file `bfd.info' due to errors; use 
--force to preserve.

     *** Failed target:  bfd.info
     *** Failed command: 
/home/xxxx/netbsd/src/../hpcarm/tools/bin/nbmakeinfo 
-I/home/xxxx/netbsd/src/gnu/dist/binutils/bfd/doc --no-split -o bfd.info 
/home/xxxx/netbsd/src/gnu/dist/binutils/bfd/doc/bfd.texinfo
     *** Error code 1

     Stop.
     nbmake: stopped in /home/xxxx/netbsd/src/gnu/lib/libbfd

I need to comment the following lines to make it:

     src/gnu/dist/binutils/bfd/doc/bfd.texinfo:
       Line 331: @printindex cp
       Line 348: @contents

I am cross-building NetBSD/hpcarm on FreeBSD-5.2.1R.

PS: The file bfd.textinfo can be successfully translated to bfd.info
     with makeinfo 4.6 on my host system.
