Odd, I cannot reproduce it here. There's no point in calling
install-info though (as we don't use the info pages for anything), so
I've committed a change to disable it:

    mtools: ensure install-info isn't used

    mtools calls install-info at 'make install' time if available after
    installing the mtools info page - But as we don't use the info pages for
    anything / remove in target-finalize, this is a waste of time and a
    potential cause of build failures as reported on the list:

    So ensure configure doesn't find it.
