gnome2 branch does not build on my gentoo box

[Michael Wahlbrink]

hi,
yes I know the gnome2 branch is still in heavy development and 'is not
guaranteed to build ;-)
I've tried today to get it on my gentoo-box running, but the compile
bails out with some texinfo errors. So my question is here 1. is it a
known error with a known workaround ;-) or is there something wrong with
 the gentoo installation (which is not detected by .configure)...
any hints (where to look for the error) are welcome!
cheers
