My toolchain no longer builds in one click on a new system. I have found that I need to downgrade texinfo to a previous version (4.13) or I will get errors when running make.

I'd really like to have everything automated so that my toolchain builds in one click. So I can think of a couple options:

1. Have the build script downgrade necessary packages like texinfo
2. Have the build script compile texinfo from source and use that version

Option 2 seems preferable, but I have yet to find an elegant (non-hacky) way of implementing it. Has anyone else run into this problem and how have you solved it?

Uh. The texinfo problem should be fixed in binutils 2.24. Switch to that version instead.

Thanks, but I also had to downgrade autoconf for some reason, so I'm looking for a more general solution to avoid random breakages of this type.
