PATCH 1/1 package/libtool: disable makeinfo

host-libtool can fail to build if the host is missing makeinfo, so disable it.

---
Without this patch, buildroot fails to build host-libtool on my Debian 8 system, as it doesn't have the texinfo package installed.

BTW, Thomas, any idea why the autobuilders didn't catch this? Do the chroots
have texinfo installed?

I cannot say for Thomas, but the autobuilders I run on gccX do not run in a chroot, and they do have texinfo installed.

My chroot does not have texinfo installed:

test at build:~$ dpkg -l | grep texinfo
test at build:~$ which makeinfo
test at build:~$

This makeinfo thing is very mysterious to me. Sometimes it complains it's missing, sometimes not. I've never been able to really understand what happens.

I am wondering if some packages don't bundle the pre-generated documentation in their tarball, but sometimes have the pre-generated files with an older date than the source files, which causes the documentation to be generated once again. But that's really just a guess.
