There are one or two things I might comment upon later, but it's basically

In this case yes. The reason is that gcc-vax was broken until very
recently. This causes it to fail on texinfo. You either get a currected
gcc, or temporarily patch texinfo until you have a -current gcc.

If you do a cross-compile, it will work, since this was specifically in
gcc-vax, which didn't show on a cross-compile.
