Strange...  It shouldn't even have been built; texinfo/Makefile
redefines SUBDIRS to something that does not contain `info'.  What
does the command below print?

grep '^SUBDIRS' cd /usr/foo/texinfo/info/Makefile

I'd expect:

SUBDIRS = intl lib info makeinfo po util doc
SUBDIRS = intl lib makeinfo

The second definition is supposed to override the first.  Which
version of `make' are you running?
