>Description:

The port devel/autoconf262 doesn't build using the system texinfo on FreeBSD
5.x.  The build fails as follows:

gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/devel/autoconf262/work/autoconf-2.62/doc'
Updating ./version.texi
restore=: && backupdir=".am$$" && \
	am__cwd=`pwd` && cd . && \
	rm -rf $backupdir && mkdir $backupdir && \
	if (/bin/sh /usr/ports/devel/autoconf262/work/autoconf-2.62/build-aux/missing --run makeinfo --version) >/dev/null 2>&1; then \
	  for f in autoconf-2.62.info autoconf-2.62.info-[0-9] autoconf-2.62.info-[0-9][0-9] autoconf-2.62.i[0-9] autoconf-2.62.i[0-9][0-9]; do \
	    if test -f $f; then mv $f $backupdir; restore=mv; else :; fi; \
	  done; \
	else :; fi && \

	  cd .; \
	else \
	  rc=$?; \
	  cd . && \
	  $restore $backupdir/* `echo "./autoconf-2.62.info" | sed 's|[^/]*$||'`; \

>How-To-Repeat:

On FreeBSD 5.x:

portinstall devel/autoconf262

>Fix:

The following patch fixes the problem, by using the version of makeinfo from
the print/texinfo port on FreeBSD 5.x.

See also PRs ports/106379 and ports/106385, which fixed the same problem for
m4 and automake respectively.
