Per the GCS, release tarballs ship with an up-to-date .info file (if you
find that it=E2=80=99s not the case, please report it to bug-guix), so
=E2=80=98makeinfo=E2=80=99 is not needed, and thus =E2=80=98configure=E2=80=
=99 does not check for it.

When building from a checkout, =E2=80=98makeinfo=E2=80=99 is needed, but it=
=E2=80=99s the
developer=E2=80=99s responsibility to install it.
