[discussion]
Halts compiling sys-apps/texinfo-4.11-r1 and texinfo-4.13. Discussed at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196041, however patch does not seem to work.

Established patch in $BZR/patches/texinfo-4.11-r1-libgnu-patch, but still will not build.

[Viridior (jacobgalbreath)]

From http://bugs.gentoo.org/196041

added lines to texinfo-*.ebuild:
src_compile() {
        use static && append-ldflags -static
        econf $(use_enable nls) || die
+ if tc-is-cross-compiler; then
+ emake -C tools/gnulib/lib || die "emake -C tools/gnulib/lib"
+ fi
        emake || die "emake"
}

works, added to pandora portage as texinfo-4.11-r2.ebuild
