I was looking at this in parallel and was about to start looking at
adding a host-texinfo package (which includes makeinfo).

I was a little hesitant, as I think most buildroot users don't care
about building documentation. On the other hand, adding the dependency
avoids patches and makes life a little easier when using
OVERRIDE_SRCDIR as you noted.

Brendan
