cross compiling settings (clfs)

I am following the cross compile book, in section 4.6 (http://clfs.org/view/clfs-embedded/arm/cross-tools/binutils.html). I have done the preparation of binutils, and the make configure-host But after this, when I do the make. I have the following error, i cant manage to understand:

{https://pastebin.com/UB2v5vVt}

/mnt/clfs/sources/binutils-build/binutils-2.28/missing: 81: /mnt/clfs/sources/binutils-build/binutils-2.28/missing: makeinfo: not found WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. You might want to install the Texinfo package: <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/> The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might want to install GNU make: <http://www.gnu.org/software/make/> Makefile:472: recipe for target 'bfd.info' failed make[3]: *** [bfd.info] Error 127 make[3]: Leaving directory '/mnt/clfs/sources/binutils-build/binutils-2.28/bfd/doc'

I read that the Warning could be ignored, and still make it work, so I dont think there is the error. Thanks a lot. Cactus.

This message means that makeinfo is not installed on your host system. You don't describe what your host system is, so I can't suggest how to install it (possibly apt or yum), other than by downloading the latest texinfo from the FSF and building it from scratch.

But the error can safely be ignored. You don't need the documentation installed for your cross tools anyway.
