Hi Bernhard,

My understanding is that you need makeinfo/texinfo no later than version
4.  Otherwise, you will need to (somehow) remove the info file building
part.  Try just removing makeinfo/texinfo binaries. That's what I did.

texinfo version >= 5 is not compatible with texi source files version <= 4.

For example, see
