mpir requires texinfo but is not a requirement....

[sck-nogas (Scott C. Kennedy)]

While building gnuradio, I got a failure in mpir... Digging in deeper, I discovered that it was failing due to a missing makeinfo.

:info:build WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.
:info:build          You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or
:info:build          any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.
:info:build          You might want to install the Texinfo package:
:info:build          <https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
:info:build          The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of
:info:build          using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might
:info:build          want to install GNU make:
:info:build          <https://www.gnu.org/software/make/>

Once I installed texinfo, the compile worked.
