In addition to the dependencies above, there's actually a direct 
dependency cygport -> texinfo.

I was aware of this when rebuilding texinfo, after an initial failed 
attempt using SCALLYWAG.  The way I dealt with it was to forcibly update 
perl, ignoring setup's warnings.  I don't know if there's a better way 
to handle this in the future.  Maybe temporarily (or permanently?) 
remove those dependencies on texinfo?
