Subject: gendocs: support compound $MAKEINFO
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d2c845c863eb5cc5071933d2db63604322d35ca1;p=thirdparty%2Fgnulib.git

gendocs: support compound $MAKEINFO

* build-aux/gendocs.sh: Use eval consistently with $MAKEINFO,
to support it being a compound command.  In coreutils at least,
it has the value: SHELL='/bin/sh' build-aux/makeinfo-wrapper.sh
Reported by Collin Funk.
