It was a typo in my mail.

I think it's a reason of files present in NetBSD FTP server. Try to
check this one and see that it actually contains binary configure
script. I fetched mine from:

	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-release-4-0/tar_files/src/gnu.tar.gz

(other files also came from this directory)

/os/netbsd$ tar xzfv gnu.tar.gz src/gnu/dist/texinfo/configure
x src/gnu/dist/texinfo/configure
/os/netbsd$ file src/gnu/dist/texinfo/configure
src/gnu/dist/texinfo/configure: data

I'll try once again, with src tree taken directly from CVS. BTW, I
checked out src/gnu/dist/texinfo/configure and it's size is the same as
the one in the Tar archive present on the FTP server.

Thanks,
