Hi

The problem is related to having an old makeinfo installed on the host. The
build errors out like this:


make[2]: Entering directory `/root/sed-4.1.4/doc'
builddir=`pwd` && cd . && \
  /bin/sh /root/sed-4.1.4/config/missing --run makeinfo --html --no-split -o 
$builddir/sed.html sed.texi
sed.texi:34: Unknown command `copying'.
sed.texi:52: Unmatched address@hidden'.
sed.texi:77: Unknown command `insertcopying'.
makeinfo: Removing output file `/root/sed-4.1.4/doc/sed.html' due to errors; 
use --force to preserve.
make[2]: *** [sed.html] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/sed-4.1.4/doc'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/sed-4.1.4'
make: *** [all] Error 2


Essentially, the problem is that the autofoo for the `--enable-html' switch
is wrong. I didn't ask for `--enable-html', yet the Makefile still tries to
build it.

Attached is a patch that makes it work for me.

Regards
Greg
