    Revert "sys-apps/texinfo: enable Carp"

    If we patch the perl file, the build system tries to rebuild the manpage,
    and stage builds bail out because of missing dependencies.
    Fixable, but let's wait for a new texinfo release instead which also
    should fix the underlying bug.

    This reverts commit 879158d05be754ba8c93c8b54772f7c3264401d7.
