This should be fixed.

I can't see what is going on from the code. The rule is the following
(I copied a similar rule for Perl texi2any):
if PREFER_C_TEXI2ANY
install-exec-hook:
makeinfo_f=`echo makeinfo$(EXEEXT) | sed -e '$(transform)'`; rm -f
$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/$$makeinfo_f
-makeinfo_f=`echo makeinfo$(EXEEXT) | sed -e '$(transform)'`;
texi2any_f=`echo texi2any$(EXEEXT)| sed -e '$(transform)'`; $(LN_S)
$$texi2any_f $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/$$makeinfo_f
endif
I can't see what could lead makeinfo.exe not to be the same as
texi2any.exe. Did you check that texi2any.exe is not a libtool wrapper
too?
