That was my first thought as well, but consider that the conversion from "--" to "-" (and "---" to "--") makes sense from a typographic standpoint. A "--" is used to indicate an en-dash, which in Info is rendered as a plain hyphen, whereas a "---" is an em-dash, rendered as "--". Changing the Makeinfo behavior would affect the appearance of the final text. Consider other cases, too: what if the srcdir path contains a "@"? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33549
