Texinfo needs Ncurses for the native part of its build. The menu for the linux kernel also requires a native Ncurses. Need to determine the minimum version required.

I'm currently testing the following with Texinfo 4.11
make -C lib make -C gnulib/lib make -C makeinfo make -C util cp makeinfo/makeinfo util/instlal-info /tools/bin

Make that command:
cp -v makeinfo/makeinfo /tools/bin cp -v util/ginstall-info /tools/bin/install-info

Texinfo can be installed into the temp-system without ncurses - I believe the only thing in Texinfo that needs ncurses is the "info" program, and that isn't needed in /tools. We should be able to do "make -C lib && make -C makeinfo && make -C util" followed by either "make -C makeinfo install && make -C util install" or "cp makeinfo/makeinfo util/install-info /tools/bin". Of course, this is assuming that these are all that are needed in the temp-system, and I could very well be wrong...
