make pdf is failing.  What should I do?

I was trying to build pdf files for CEDET manuals.

kjambunathan@debian-6:~/src/emacs/trunk$ pwd
/home/kjambunathan/src/emacs/trunk

kjambunathan@debian-6:~/src/emacs/trunk$ make pdf
[ -r "/home/kjambunathan/src/emacs/trunk/src/config.in" ] || ( cd /home/kjambunathan/src/emacs/trunk && autoheader )

I'd guess you've run into Debian bug 584191
<http://bugs.debian.org/584191>.  Try
setting LC_ALL=C in your environment; that
may work around the bug.  Or upgrade to Texinfo 5.0,
if you can stand the performance hit.

Thanks.  With the above suggestion, I am able to build pdf files now.
