Hello,
Currently i have docbook2X not working on my system (a perl problem
that i don't know how to repair, but in a few months i will reinstall completely
this C:\Cygwin64 which dates back to 2019).
This means that /usr/share/docbook2X and /usr/bin/docbook2x-texi are missing.
Consequently, no *.info* file is produced.
Nevertheless, i tried to compile cygwin from sources
(newlib-cygwin-3.3.6.tar.bz2),
knowing that "Normally, building ignores any errors in building the
documentation"
(see https://cygwin.com/faq.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin)
The behaviour was changed by [1], but unfortunately the documentation
change that contains has not yet been published.
Use the configure option '--disable-doc'.

However, in order to 'make' and then 'make install' properly, i had to apply
the following
easy patch (below).
Hope this helps,
