Since this didn't attend anybodies attention I RTFM an found that
@xref is supposed to be like that and that a @pxref seems to be just
what should be there instead. So I changed the offending xrefs to
prefs (in bbdb.texinfo) and at least it did makeinfo happy. (I haven't
checked that the cross references are OK.) (Maybe I should point out
that I see this problem in a few other texinfo-files as well and it
stops med from building all packages from the top.)
So what's up. I must have gotten something wrong or nobody is trying
to build the packages the way I do. (make -r bindist) Which of course
I find utterly, utterly unbelievable.
Yours
