[Buildroot] Makeinfo

[Thomas De Schampheleire]

Hi,

I'm having an issue in building a package (libuio, which I did not yet
submit) on machines that do not have makeinfo (part of texinfo).

Recently, Arnout changed package/stress as follows:

--------------
stress: disable documentation

It fails to build with my makeinfo version. Note that the autobuilders don't
see this, probably because they don't have makeinfo installed.

I'm now wondering if this is an approach we could add globally: set
MAKEINFO to : to effectively disable the generation of
documentation...

What do you think?

Thanks,
Thomas
