Many info nodes missing with 'M-x info'

Hi,

when I do `M-x info' in Emacs I only have these five entries:

,----
| Programming
| * Cpp:         The GNU C preprocessor.
| * Cpplib:      Cpplib internals.
| * gcc:         The GNU Compiler Collection.
| * gccinstall:  Installing the GNU Compiler Collection.
| * gccint:      Internals of the GNU Compiler Collection.
`----


When I invoke `info' in a terminal I get many, many more nodes.

,----
| (%:~)- echo $INFOPATH
| /usr/share/info:/usr/share/gcc-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4/info
`----

One interesting thing is that the files of the five nodes I get with
`M-x info' are the ones in the second/last directory of INFOPATH. But
the 262 info pages in /usr/share/info/ are ignored.

After starting info:

,----[ C-h v Info-directory-list RET ]
| Info-directory-list's value is 
| ("/usr/share/info" "/usr/share/gcc-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4/info")
`----

So it got initialized with the value of INFOPATH. 

Can anybody help me? 

Much thanks in advance,
Tassilo
