Actually I discovered this issue when I tried to build target gdb with
external tools.
So to reproduce this issue please apply
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/448242/ to your local git tree, then
select external tools for ARC and try to build target gdb.
And this is my defconfig to reproduce the issue:

BR2_arcle=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_PACKAGE_GDB=y
BR2_PACKAGE_GDB_DEBUGGER=y

Indeed if you build toolchain yourself this issue won't happen because
"host-texinfo" gets built during toolchain building.
