Tried deleting texinfo-4.0.tar.gz from /usr/portage/distfiles. The result is that it gets downloaded from ibiblio.org, yet the same error occurs. Another interesting thing to note: The tarball was in /usr/portage/distfiles and 'emerge -p -u world' showed "[ebuild U ] sys-apps/texinfo-4.0-r3 to /", yet both 'qpkg -I texinfo' and 'emerge -s texinfo' show that sys-apps/texinfo is not installed.
oops, this is a work in progress from gcc 3.1 cooperation I forgot to commit the package.mask, fixed
