this is on a recently upgraded FreeBSD11.1Release.  I fetched an entirely
new
copy of the ports tree and did a make and got stopped inside a qt5 build.
I tried to build qt5 by itself and that failed inside of tex build.
I tried building that and that failed as well with these lines:

===>   Registering installation for texinfo-6.5,1
