There is a bug in configure script which do not correctly treats makefile ver. 4.11 and above.
After make you just see:
——————-
WARNING: `makeinfo’ is missing on your system. You should only need it
if you modified a `.texi’ or `.texinfo’ file, or any other file
indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. The spurious
call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make’ (AIX,
DU, IRIX). You might want to install the `Texinfo’ package or
the `GNU make’ package. Grab either from any GNU archive site.
—————–

To fix the problem is enough to apply the patch:

———-
# For an installed makeinfo, we require it to be from texinfo 4.4 or
# higher, else we use the “missing” dummy.
if ${MAKEINFO} –version \
- | egrep ‘texinfo[^0-9]*([1-3][0-9]|4\.[4-9]|[5-9])’ >/dev/null 2>&1; then
+ | egrep ‘texinfo[^0-9]*(4\.([4-9]|[1-9][0-9])|[5-9]|[1-9][0-9])’ >/dev/null 2>&1; then
:
else
MAKEINFO=”$MISSING makeinfo”
