I never said it will be easy ;-)

These are real errors in which.texinfo; you need to fix them before they 
will build.  However, with many old manuals, it's sufficient to give the
"--ifinfo" switch to makeinfo.  If that doesn't work, you will need to 
make sure there's a valid "@node Top" and "@top" directives at the 
beginning of which.texinfo.

Does the Makefile say "SHELL = /bin/sh"?  If not, this is your problem: 
the above command needs a Unixy shell to run.

Also note that ":" (in the value of TEXINPUTS) is not a valid directory 
separator in DJGPP, it needs to be replaced with a ";"
