Hi,

Thanks for your quick replies.

OK.  ‘make compile-microcode’ does indeed fix the problem.

I actually read the fine src/README.txt, which led me to think that
‘make’ alone would work.  Perhaps it should be updated to reflect that?

Would it be an option for you to have a top-level configure and makefile
that would allow ‘./configure && make’ to do the right thing (info
"(standards) Managing Releases")?

Likewise, it would be great if the doc/ directory would contain the Info
files and texinfo.tex as is usual (info "(standards) Releases").
Automake has support to do this automatically.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
