 Whenever I ran into this error when building my fork of gdb-apple
 manually, I would always work around it by making sure that a copy of
 texinfo4 appeared first in my path... I guess the solution here would be
 to use the system `makeinfo` (i.e. `/usr/bin/makeinfo`) here instead of
 the MacPorts one, as that is still version 4, at least on my machine:
 {{{
 Local-Admins-MacBook-Pro:~ ericgallager$ /usr/bin/makeinfo --version
