The symptoms would be info related errors in parallel builds, and missing files in info/dir. I would appreciate it if someone would review it. It's not made any easier by: 1) Catering for systems without makeinfo - I would suggest dropping this. 2) All the nested phony info rules. Other possible improvements: 1) build-aux/make-info-dir to parse .org sources (for texinfo_dir_category) in preference to .texi ones if the former exist. 2) Replace dependency on info files with one on generated texi files, where it makes sense. (Personally I find this quite a PITA, both from the point of view of Makefile rules, and from now needing to know two markup syntaxes to maintain Emacs's manuals. End of complaint.)
