What happens (and this is pretty far outside eglibc's territory) is that the libc.info and friends don't end up where we expect them, such that a later

The move to 2.63 may have brought in the change from usr/info to
usr/share/info as the default info directory. But that's a deliberate
change, to implement something that went into the GNU Coding Standards
long ago.

Oh-hoh!

You know, that is probably it, because our problem was inconsistency in whether the files were in usr/info or usr/share info. And some of the systems we've been seeing the problem on are autoconf 2.59.

If that's it, then I think this will get us unstuck on a problem which has absolutely nothing to do with either eglibc or Code Sourcery. If we're ever on the same continent, I owe you a beer.
