Problems installing binutils-2.15

["Aaron Gray" <angray at beeb dot net>]

I am trying to build and install binutils-2.15 as I need this version. I 
have successfully done this before on my other machine, but am unable to do 
it on this one.

On the 'make install' I am getting the following error :-

make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/build/binutils-2.15/binutils/doc'
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/build/binutils-2.15/binutils/doc'
rm -f config.texi
echo '@set VERSION 2.15' > config.texi
makeinfo --split-size=5000000 -I /usr/src/binutils-2.15/binutils/doc 
/usr/src/bi
nutils-2.15/binutils/doc/binutils.texi
/usr/src/binutils-2.15/binutils/doc/binutils.texi:52: Unknown index `ky' 
and/or
' in @synindex.
makeinfo: Removing output file 
`/usr/build/binutils-2.15/binutils/doc/binutils.i
nfo' due to errors; use --force to preserve.
make[2]: *** [binutils.info] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/build/binutils-2.15/binutils/doc'
make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/build/binutils-2.15/binutils'
make: *** [install-binutils] Error 2

I think it maybe a missing tool from the Cygwin instillation but an not sure 
what one.

Here's my configure script output :-
