there is no subdir makefile.
newlib/Makefile:
TEXI2DVI = ...common setting...
include libc/local.mk
include libm/local.mk
libc/local.mk:
info_TEXINFOS += %D%/libc.texi
%C%_libc_TEXINFOS = ...
libm/local.mk:
info_TEXINFOS += %D%/libm.texi
%C%_libm_TEXINFOS = ...
the point is to avoid recursive makes to speed things up, so the variable
namespace is flat, and there currently afaict is no support for per-target
commands or flags. i.e. this doesn't work:
info_TEXINFOS = libc.texi
libc_TEXINFOS = ...
libc_TEXI2DVI = ... <- doesn't work
libc_MAKEINFOFLAGS = ... <- doesn't work

that's the -E (expand) code path :). if expand isn't set, makeinfo isn't
set, so that eval wouldn't be run. that said, the expand code path also
runs if it thinks tex is broken and doesn't expand correctly. so i guess
if we want to keep that working, we'll want to pass the settings down.
