Sorry for missing your message.  I did not think that would be a
problem to me.

It is OK for me.  But external/classpath comes from GNU Classpath,
so the problem is wheher GNU Classpath should keep prebuilt info
files in their CVS repository.  GNU Classpath is a GNU distribution,
so released GNU Classpath packages must have prebuilt info files,
of course.  But whether or not they should always be kept in the
CVS repository may be another question.  Anyway I will ask GNU Classpath.

My problematic environment is also a linux-2.4.18 based redhat.
Haven't you installed a newer texinfo by chance?
