You probably should be complaining to H.J. Lu then.

My guess is that you are missing a tool like makeinfo.  If I recall
correctly, older versions of autoconf (which generates configure)
used to set MAKEINFO="no makeinfo found" or something like that.
When "make" ran $(MAKEINFO), /bin/sh tried to run "no".
