It fails in binutils too, apparently because older makeinfo do
not support the expansion.  Version 4.2 here, so the version
check (somewhere) needs updating.  I've worked around this
locally by adding "@c" in front of the offending line.

/h/hp/binutils/cvs_latest/src/binutils/doc/binutils.texi:3456: @include `@value{top_srcdir}/../libiberty/at-file.texi': No such file or directory.
makeinfo: Removing output file `/h/hp/binutils/cvs_latest/src/binutils/doc/binutils.info' due to errors; use --force to preserve.
