Installing makeinfo means installing texinfo, which needs installing TeX
(IIUC). That's a heavy load for a test run on emba.

Calling "make lisp" is not applicable, when we call "make
bootstrap". The latter one is broken for *everybody* who hasn't
installed makeinfo; the advice in etc/NEWS is useless.

I know, and it was just a try.

Best regards, Michael.
