After a little digging, found that the configure.ac is broken:
AC_CHECK_PROGS([MAKEINFO], makeinfo, [$MISSING makeinfo])
case " $build_configdirs " in
*" texinfo "*) MAKEINFO='$$r/$(BUILD_SUBDIR)/texinfo/makeinfo/makeinfo' ;;
*)
changequote(,)
# For an installed makeinfo, we require it to be from texinfo 4.4 or
# higher, else we use the "missing" dummy.
if ${MAKEINFO} --version \
| egrep 'texinfo[^0-9]*([1-3][0-9]|4\.[4-9]|[5-9])' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
:
else
MAKEINFO="$MISSING makeinfo"
fi
;;
changequote([,])
esac

Uh, huh.
It's not matching the paren/space after "texinfo"... nor is it considering
4.11 >= 4.4...
Sigh.
