I don't think we should tie our own hands in this way.  Building GCC
requires lots of tools; so be it.  We could always have a check that
avoids building the documentation for old makeinfo.  (In fact, I know we
have a check in the top-level Makefiles, but I don't know if GCC pays
attention to that, and the version required there may not be new enough.)
