I mean...

https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/makeinfo.README

| makeinfo is part of the texinfo distribution.
| Get texinfo-*.tar.gz.

| However, all GNU distributions should come with prebuilt info files,
| thus makeinfo should not be needed. If you notice a distribution
| that does not come with *.info files, please report it as a bug.
