>Description:
Cross-building the tools fails on my Debian GNU/Linux system:

./build.sh -U -M /tmp/build -m amd64 tools

gives the error:

/bin/sh /extra/sutre/NetBSD/src/gnu/dist/gmake/config/missing --run makeinfo   
-I /extra/sutre/NetBSD/src/tools/gmake/../../gnu/dist/gmake/doc  `test -f 
'/extra/sutre/NetBSD/src/tools/gmake/../../gnu/dist/gmake/doc/make.texi' || 
echo 
'/extra/sutre/NetBSD/src/tools/gmake/../../gnu/dist/gmake/doc/'`/extra/sutre/NetBSD/src/tools/gmake/../../gnu/dist/gmake/doc/make.texi
 -o make.info
/extra/sutre/NetBSD/src/tools/gmake/../../gnu/dist/gmake/doc/make.texi:7411: 
@itemx must follow @item

I suspect that the problem came up after an update of texinfo:

$ makeinfo --version
makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 5.1

>How-To-Repeat:
Run build.sh tools on a system with texinfo >= 5.
>Fix:
Apply the following patch, which was taken from upstream:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit/?id=7c77486d1fbc820e6db97a5a11fabdc34dbdb729
