I think he's saying the behavior of Texinfo 5's 'makeinfo --help' depends on the name used to invoke makeinfo (which is not following the GNU Coding Standards, by the way -- Karl, should I file a Texinfo bug report or will this email suffice?), and this means Emacs's 'configure' script shouldn't care what that part of the output looks like. I installed a patch along those lines as Emacs trunk bzr 117943.
