Hi,
after hours of try and error, I figured out, that
on systems with newer versions of texinfo, binutils-2.17
only builds with the patch (attached) applied.
Hope this helps someone else who runs into this problem:
----
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.
make[3]: *** [/mnt/clfs/sources/binutils-build/bfd/doc/bfd.info] Error 1
