[tlbuild] texinfo build failure... needs help2man

[Jonathan Kew]

I'm getting build failures in utils/texinfo, and apparently need the  
help2man tool to update something in the source tree:

.......
/bin/sh /Volumes/Nenya/texlive/Build/source/utils/texinfo/build-aux/ 
missing --run help2man --name="sort Texinfo index files" ..//util/ 
texindex -o ../../../../utils/texinfo/doc/texindex.1
/Volumes/Nenya/texlive/Build/source/utils/texinfo/build-aux/missing:  
line 54: help2man: command not found

However, trying to configure && make help2man also fails on my  
current system (powerpc-darwin):

$ make
perl help2man.PL
Extracting help2man (with variable substitutions)
gcc  -o hacklocaledir.so -fPIC -shared hacklocaledir.c
powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: unrecognized option '-shared'

O; ignored
/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [hacklocaledir.so] Error 1


Could someone commit whatever needs to be updated in utils/texinfo,  
so that the build can proceed without help2man for the rest of us?

Thanks,

JK
