This is a bug. Either: install makeinfo (although it is not needed) and
re-run configure; or edit the top-level Makefile in the Emacs 23
distribution. Delete the following 3 lines from the "info" target (near
line 821):

        elif test "$(MAKEINFO)" = "no"; then \
          echo "makeinfo is missing - cannot build manuals" ; \
          exit 1 ; \

You will need to edit Makefile.in in the same way if you run configure
again.
