>Description:
During the install phase of building the 'world' on a linux host, the shell variable INFOPATH is not correctly used, and causes a macro expansion which results in the generation of an erroneous target specification. Ex:

shell variable: INFOPATH=/usr/share/info:/usr/X11R6/info

Resulted in the expansion for 'nbmake-i386 install' in the
lib/libbz2 directory of:

/home/NetBSD/src/obj/destdir.i386/usr/share/info:/usr/X11R6/info/bzip2.info

This is an incorrect use of the local machine's INFOPATH in a cross compilation environment.
>How-To-Repeat:
It is unknown if this also holds for NetBSD environments.
>Fix:
Set the shell environment variable INFOPATH to a null string.

 I tried to reproduce this just in lib/libbz2 by setting INFOPATH
 in my environment, but -current built & installed it fine.
 Do you know if it's because makeinfo(1) is built with that infopath?

 (Or, it could be a bug in netbsd-2 that's since been fixed)

 Could you try this on the NetBSD-3 branch or against NetBSD-current
 (CVS HEAD) ?
