binutils cross incorrectly installs info pages

[eugebo]

Binary package hint: binutils

Problem:
The install-$(TARGET)-stamp target in the rules file either incorrectly installs the info pages into the cross package or incorrectly cleans them up depending on your point of view. The package ends up with info pages installed in /usr/share/info regardless of the target architecture, therefore, when you install multiple architecture -cross packages you have multiple packages supplying the same file.

Suggested Resolution:
Attached is a patch file that should fix the packaging.
