Thank you Eric for your reply.
I tried 'apt-get build-dep glibc', but this changed nothing. So I
removed glibc-2.7 source directory entirely and did:
tar -xjf glibc-2.7.tar.bz2
tar -xjf glibc-ports-2.7.tar.bz2
mv glibc-ports-2.7 glibc-2.7/ports
mkdir glibc-build
cd glibc-build
Then I ran:
../glibc-2.7/configure --disable-sanity-checks
And Finally:
make info -I ../glibc-2.7/manual/{contrib,intro}.texi
gave me:
/home/christophe/gnewsense/projects/doc-rejected-by-debian/glibc-2.7/manual//libc.texinfo:96:
Prev reference to nonexistent node `Contributors' (perhaps incorrect
sectioning?).
/home/christophe/gnewsense/projects/doc-rejected-by-debian/glibc-2.7/manual//libc.texinfo:86:
Next reference to nonexistent node `Introduction' (perhaps incorrect
sectioning?).

Solved at last, thanks to Gerard. `egrep' wasn't working.
"egrep wasn't working", how may I test it?
The 'makeinfo' method still fails (for the same reasons as 'make info').
Can someone help me on this?
Thanks,
Christophe
