Interesting.  Can you post the verbose test output, like so:
  cd tests
  make check VERBOSE=yes \
       TESTS="instsh2.test txinfo3.test txinfo16.test txinfo18.test \
              txinfo21.test txinfo22.test version7.test"

The first of those tests produces a lot of output, so be sure to catch
it (both stdout and stderr together) somewhere.  Also, what versions of
autoconf, m4, and makeinfo do you have installed?

Thanks,
Ralf
