So the poor souls who don't have makeinfo could "touch info/emacs.info" and have the build continue instead of failing? If this works, I think it's a fine solution. It would be even better if the advice to "touch info/emacs.info" would be included in the error message printed when we find no makeinfo. Thanks.
