I am following this tutorial to develop a hello world operating system. The config part shown below gets done successfully
# Delete the build directory if it already exists.
rm -rfv binutils-build
mkdir binutils-build
cd binutils-build
../binutils-2.23.1/configure --prefix=$HOME/opt/cross --target=i586-elf \
--disable-nls
But when I execute make nice make -j4 I get the following errors:
config.status: creating po/Makefile.in
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing libtool commands
config.status: executing default-1 commands
config.status: executing bfd_stdint.h commands
config.status: executing default commands

The actual error message is not in the part you quoted, but the build process probably cannot find the makeinfo program, which is part of the texinfo package in most distributions.
