bug#13142: 24.2; make install-info fails with non-english locale

["Nicolas Richard" <theonewiththeevillook@yahoo.fr>]

Hello,

As stated in the subject, `make install-info' fails with a non-english
(french) locale. The reason seems to be that line 606 in Makefile.in is:

info_misc=`cd $${thisdir}/doc/misc; ${MAKE} echo-info | sed '/ing directory/d'`; \

and the output of `${MAKE} echo-info` depends on the locale. Replacing the
above line by the following seems to solve my problem :

info_misc=`cd $${thisdir}/doc/misc; LANG=C ${MAKE} echo-info | sed '/ing directory/d'`; \

(to be honest, I did not test from scratch, but I changed the Makefile
and it succeeded).

Also, I've been seeing this error for some time, but never had a deeper
look before now.

Regards,
