     Do you know why building Guix manual fails to build with older
     "texinfo.tex"?

     If this related to some special texinfo syntax used in Guix manual?

Yes.  It's the use of @inlinefmtifelse command. (perhaps other commands too).
     
     What about checking in texinfo.tex and removing the -f (--force) option
     when invoking 'autoreconf'?  This would ensure that texinfo.tex is not
     overwritten.


I guess it might work.  But I haven't tried it.
