When doing a scripts/bootstrap.sh, the script tries to get texinfo-4.2.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/texinfo But it is not available from that location. I got it from http://www.netsw.org/type/texinfo/ and put it in /usr/portage/distfiles, but I guess it could be fixed by using a new version of texinfo or by using another link to get the 4.2
Fixed.
