I don't understand where did the
C:/msys/home/d.moncayo.melgar/emacs/emacs.git/ directory come from?
Does directory by such name indeed exist on your disk, and Windows
(not MSYS) can find it? Did you try this from a directory different
from where you made your previous trials?
If the directory exists, I don't understand the reason for these
failures:
/bin/makeinfo --force --enable-encoding -I C:/msys/home/d.moncayo.melgar/emacs/emacs.git/doc/lispref/../emacs -I C:/msys/home/d.moncayo.melgar/emacs/emacs.git/doc/lispref --no-split -o C:/msys/home/d.moncayo.melgar/emacs/emacs.git/doc/lispref/../../info/elisp.info C:/msys/home/d.moncayo.melgar/emacs/emacs.git/doc/lispref/elisp.texi
C:/msys/home/d.moncayo.melgar/emacs/emacs.git/doc/lispref/elisp.texi:58: @include `emacsver.texi': No such file or directory.
Is this some problem with the MSYS port of makeinfo, perhaps?

If the change in configure.ac works, we will be able to remove almost
all of that stuff in top-level Makefile.

That's what my suggestion tries to do, but in a single place.

Is this the correct file name, or isn't it?
