--- Comment #5 from John Doe <bugmenot at mailinator dot com> ---
Rechecked with GDB 13.1, texinfo seems to be still necessary. :-/

using https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb/gdb-13.1.tar.xz 

$ cd /tmp
$ tar xf gdb-13.1.tar.gz
$ mkdir gdb-13.1/build
$ cd gdb-13.1/build
$ ../configure --prefix=/opt/gdb-13.1 --with-python --with-lzma
$ gmake -k  # output ignored
$ gmake

/tmp/gdb-13.1/missing: line 81: makeinfo: command not found
WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or
         any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.
         You might want to install the Texinfo package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
         The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of
         using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might
         want to install GNU make:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/make/>
gmake[3]: *** [doc/bfd.info] Error 127
gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gdb-13.1/build/bfd'
gmake[2]: *** [info-recursive] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gdb-13.1/build/bfd'
gmake[1]: *** [all-bfd] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gdb-13.1/build'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2


So I think the bug should be reopened.
