Help compiling g77-2.95

[Adam C Powell IV <hazelsct@mit.edu>]

Hello,

I'm trying to build a new g77-2.95/libf2c.a with -mieee to get around 
bug #136359 and make lapack build and test properly.  But when I try to 
debian/rules binary the gcc-2.95 source package, it always fails at:

cd 
/home/hazelsct/packages/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds8/src-native/gcc/p/doc/en/info 
&& makeinfo -I .. -I ../.. -I ../../generated -o gpc-295.info gpc.texi
../internals.texi:263: First argument to cross-reference may not be empty.
makeinfo: Removing output file `gpc-295.info' due to errors; use --force 
to preserve.
make[4]: ***

make[1]: *** [stamps/05-build-stamp-native] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/hazelsct/packages/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds8'

I'm stuck, as I can't even figure out where in which Makefile this 
happens (so I could comment it out and move on).  I have all of the 
Build-Depends installed.  Any ideas on why it doesn't work?

Thanks,
