On the contrary, many times patches have broken "make dvi" but passed
"make info". See the last such breakage in libiberty
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2005-03/msg02853.html> for an example.
"make info" and "make dvi" detect different subsets of invalid Texinfo;
http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html specifies both for documentation
patches for a reason.
