Thank you Gavin for looking into this.

I've checked where the manuals creation process calls texi2any and failed to find anything. It looks like makeinfo is an alias to texi2any to what I did is add the option to the various makefiles:

for ex:

MAKEINFO = @MAKEINFO@
MAKEINFO_OPTS = --force --enable-encoding -I $(srcdir) -c CASE_INSENSITIVE_FILENAMES=1

checking right now it that works...
