No, the problem is somewhere we've got a bogon dependency.
It sounded like someone did a "make ...", the thing built. Then they did a
"make install" and we started trying to build the info files during the
install process -- which failed for some reason or another.
The claim is that those info files should have been built during the
initial make.
