It doesn't build on i386. When gcconfig.h is modified to recognize x86_64
platform, it breaks in the Boehm garbage collector. This is alpha-grade
software from GNU that hasn't had a release in over 4.5 years. Frankly, I
don't know how this abandoned project deserves a spot in pkgsrc.
makeinfo if no native makeinfo executable exists. Honor TEXINFO_REQD
when determining whether the native makeinfo can be used.
* Remove USE_MAKEINFO and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=makeinfo.
* Get rid of all the "split" argument deduction for makeinfo since
the PLIST module already handles varying numbers of split info files
correctly.
NOTE: Platforms that have "makeinfo" in the base system should check
that the makeinfo entries of pkgsrc/mk/tools.${OPSYS}.mk are
correct.
