This is because it has a 2 digit number in it's version. Patches to follow.
Created an attachment (id=133531) [details] binutils-2.17-texinfo.patch
Created an attachment (id=133532) [details] binutils-2.18-texinfo.patch
Patch nobbled from LFS, so I assume this affects Linux too. As FreeBSD needs 2.17 due to 2.18 not being able to link pre-built firmware for our kernels, both 2.17 and 2.18 should be patched.
Or just add the patch (18_all_binutils-makeinfo-version.patch) in 2.18-r1 to 2.17 for us BSD users - thanks!

Created an attachment (id=133608) [details] binutils-2.17-r2.ebuild This ebuild will incorporate a backported patch from 2.18 to fix this.
Created an attachment (id=133610) [details] files/binutils-2.17-makeinfo-version.patch Here is the patch file (which is basically the same as Uber's).
Note that we can fix binutils-2.17-r2 now with this patch, whereas bug #193364 has a slightly larger scope. I recommend we get this change in to 2.17, since we do not have 2.18 working yet on fbsd, and this issue blocks texinfo-4.11.
Reopening, since FreeBSD still cannot use binutil-2.18, and the backport of this makeinfo patch would help us to re-unmask texinfo's new version.
the answer is the same ... i'm not going to backport texinfo version fixups to multiple binutils *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 193364 ***
