When building texinfo in Chapter 5, the configure script outputs the
following:

}}}
I've had an user misinterpret this and think of it as an error (probably
due to Makefile part), trying to rebuild chapter 5 and perl countless
times, just so I could verify that same happens here and that it isn't an
issue.
I think it would be nice to either explicitly disable this test using
--disable-perl-xs or note that it isn't an issue.
