Hi.

I'm trying to build MySQL-3.23.54a-1mdk on my ML9.0 system at home, but it hangs at:

perl -w ./Support/generate-mirror-listing.pl manual.texi > ../MIRRORS

I was however able to build it on another similar system..., I can't figure out what's wrong...

Just got the same problem and found the cause - there's a missing '<' stdin redirection operator in the Docs Makefile, so the perl script is waiting indefinitely for input.

The attached patch needs to be applied to Docs/Makefile.in. It should be in a suitable format to be bzipped and added to the spec.

N.B. The MIRRORS file will only contain 1 line once created, since there are no mirrors listed in the manual.texi input file.
