WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system.  You should only need it
if
         you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
         indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.  The spurious
         call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX,
         DU, IRIX).  You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
         the `GNU make' package.  Grab either from any GNU archive site.

Aslo texinfo is installed on my system and makeinfo is apparently not
available for ubuntu.

Concur for a Ubuntu system.
Looking at the Makefile in the bfd subdirectory of the binutils build, I
tried to explicitely set the path to makeinfo, with exactly the same
'texinfo not installed' error:

smitty at tiger:~/src/buildroot/toolchain_build_i686/binutils-2.17.50.0.10-build/bfd$
MAKEINFO=/usr/local/bin/makeinfo make

I think this is a configure-time problem.
After installing texinfo on my Ubuntu, I blew away the binutils-*-build
directory, did a make clean, and started again.
Having the binutils ./configure script run, with texinfo actually
installed, cured what ailed me.

fix binutils upstream.

Apart from that, we now have a check for an installed makeinfo for the
build-host which clearly states that you may have to install a working
makeinfo for your host.

thanks for the report
