Many thanks for your pointer to the timestamp issue. Looking forward to
more contributions in future.
Hi Benson,
This helps. However, the build script removes config.texi and then
copies all.texi into config.texi changing timestamps and forcing a
rebuild that requires makeinfo. This seems to have been encountered
elsewhere, for example https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/34173
The reason for do
Thanks for checking this.

Hi Benson,
The current binutils release 2.40 requires texinfo to build from source
because gas does not have .info files.
I believe that it does:
% tar tvf binutils-2.40.tar.xz | grep as.info
-rw-rw-rw- root/root 1220923 2023-01-14 00:00 binutils-2.40/gas/doc/as.info
Typically texin
The current binutils release 2.40 requires texinfo to build from source
because gas does not have .info files. Typically texinfo is only needed
if the .texi files are modified as releases should contain .info files.
