It looks like there may be a problem with the interaction between
DESTDIR and infodir in 24.1. You can see the problem by running
something like this after a configure and make:
make DESTDIR=/some/where infodir=/forbidden/place/ install
Assuming you don't have access to /forbidden/, the install process will
fail in doc/misc here:
mkinfodir = @cd ${srcdir}; test -d ${infodir} || mkdir ${infodir} || test -d ${infodir}
because the infodir setting (without modification by DESTDIR) will be
passed down from ./Makefile.in and override the doc/misc/Makefile.in
setting:
infodir=../../info
I would guess that either doc/misc/Makefile.in should respect DESTDIR,
or this bit of ./Makefile.in:
info-real:
(cd doc/misc; $(MAKE) $(MFLAGS) info)
should either unset infodir before calling $(MAKE), or should specify an
infodir that respects DESTDIR.
Hope this helps.

I renamed $infodir to $buildinfodir in doc/*/Makefile.in, since it has
no relation to the $infodir used by install.
