Various versions of makeinfo up to 4.12. The problem is building GDB on
i686-pc-linux-gnu (build system) with --host=i686-mingw32; I have not
tried any version of makeinfo running directly on the case-insensitive
systems (we build all tools for all hosts on GNU/Linux build systems).
There is no way to pass the expected host to makeinfo, and since
documentation goes in a "share" directory the files generated should not
depend at all on the host in any case; it would be a bug for the files in
the share directory to differ for different --host configurations.
