I did some more digging and found this out:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-02/msg00164.html

which says:

---
You need at least makeinfo 4.1 on the 3.2 branch and 4.2 for 3.3 branch
and mainline.  (The current release is 4.4.)
---

If that's the case then their Makefile.in is incorrect and needs to be
patched for our package system. We currently have gcc-3.2.2, which
requires makeinfo-4.1. However the Makefile.in snippet:

---
MAKEINFO = `if [ -f $$r/texinfo/makeinfo/makeinfo ] ; \
        then echo $$r/texinfo/makeinfo/makeinfo ; \
        else if (makeinfo --version \
          | egrep 'texinfo[^0-9]*([1-3][0-9]|[4-9])') >/dev/null 2>&1; \
        then echo makeinfo; else echo $$s/missing makeinfo; fi; fi`
---

would succeed even if we have:

# makeinfo --version
makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.0
