#ERROR:
	find.texi:1893: node `Time Formats' lacks menu item for `Formatting Flags' despite being its Up target

#SOLUTION:
	When building rel-4-4-fixes branch you need something like s:texinfo-4.13a-arm-1.txz (ver. 4.x) but not uli:texinfo-5.2-arm-1.txz (ver. 5.x).
	User master branch with uli:texinfo-5.2-arm-1.txz (ver. 5.x).
#ERROR1:
	configure.ac:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
		  If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
		  See the Autoconf documentation.
#SOLUTION1:
	Don't download the sources instead use master branch or rel-4-4-fixes branch links above.
