    Eli> How can you NOT have 'cmp'??

No idea. This is a chroot for doing cross compilation. on my distro
(archlinux) cmp is provided by diffutils. I do not know if the package
has the same name on debian. Perhaps I could install It and I could see
if that makes a difference.

    Eli> Yes, it should.  It's harmless.

Where are located those 3 info files (actually  i could search for
it) on the release tarball. But I should mention that when I did the
same procedure on my regular distro makeinfo (was not called as expected). So this is
something that just happens within the chroot. So I was expecting on
your wisdom guys for giving me some hints.
