linux 2.5.10 and compiling gdb-5.1.1 from source

[Jurriaan on Alpha <thunder7@xs4all.nl>]

I'm running into some gdb problems with linux 2.5.10:

ALPHA :gdb ./angband
GNU gdb 5.1.1

This GDB was configured as "alpha-linux"...
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/local/games/angband-2.9.7-alpha1/./angband
warning: Cannot insert breakpoint -2:
Cannot access memory at address 0xcfa0
(gdb)

so I wanted to recompile gdb.
apt-get source gdb
cd gdb-5.1.1
fakeroot debian/rules binary

and after a lot of messages, the compilation won't proceed because
makeinfo isn't installed.

apt-cache search makeinfo points at texi2html as the only solution.
If I install that package, I still don't have a makeinfo binary.
The documentation seems to say that texi2html is even better then
makeinfo. That won't help, however.

How do other people compile gdb?

Thanks,
Jurriaan
