You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. You might want to install the Texinfo package: <https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/> The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might want to install GNU make: <https://www.gnu.org/software/make/> make[2]: *** [Makefile:1979: m4.info] Error 127 make[2]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/m4-1.4.19/work/m4-1.4.19/doc' make[1]: *** [Makefile:2018: all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/m4-1.4.19/work/m4-1.4.19' make: *** [Makefile:1974: all] Error 2 Expected Results: build/merge success Only got it under Linux, but probably kernel-independent
That's curious given the patch includes the generated file (and I checked a diff afterwards). Could you include the full build.log and emerge --info please? I'll sort this later but that information will help.

About patching both source and generated files, that is really depedent on filesystem time precision, and IIRC make tends to rebuild if time difference is below fs time precision
m4.info depends on version.texi, but version.texi comes after m4.info in the patch. If we re-order the chunks in the patch, that should resolve this.
