Normally, we enabled the "Remove documentation" option from Crosstool-NG, which should tell Crosstool-NG to not build the documentation. But in practice, Crosstool-NG configure script still wants a makeinfo program. Even if you fake it by passing /bin/true as the makeinfo program, then the build process of binutils fails during the construction of its info pages. So it looks like Crosstool-NG does not disable entirely the generation of documentation, or something else is going one. Introducing this texinfo package is only a short-term solution, until the proper way of disabling the documentation generation in Crosstool-NG is found.
