I don't think you can disable building the docs, customers usually
prefer releases that come with documentation.

You'll have to fix the problem.  Upgrade texinfo in devo to the
version that net gcc requires.  If that means we have to have two
autoconf versions in maintainer-tools, then we have to do that.  If
upgrading texinfo breaks other info files, fix them, and feed the
results back.
