Yes, I updated texinfo yesterday to 4.11 :
  gobo at Gobo ~]ls /Programs/Texinfo/
  4.11/     4.8a/     Current@

Longer from the log :

WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system.  You should only need it if
         you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
         indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.  The spurious
         call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX,
         DU, IRIX).  You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
         the `GNU make' package.  Grab either from any GNU archive site.

(One of my message is waiting the moderator as it is too big (it contains two
makefiles)).

Thanks,
