Per the GCS, release tarballs ship with an up-to-date .info file (if you
find that it’s not the case, please report it to bug-guix), so
‘makeinfo’ is not needed, and thus ‘configure’ does not check for it.
When building from a checkout, ‘makeinfo’ is needed, but it’s the
developer’s responsibility to install it.
