Yes, that's it.  texinfo 4.2 is ancient.

You shouldn't need to run makeinfo unless you're
changing the manual, because makeinfo's output is part of
the coreutils tarball.  If you are updating the manual, please
upgrade to the current version, which is 4.13.  If you
ran makeinfo despite not changing the manual, then that's
a bug in the tarball that we'd need to fix.
