This doesn't look right to me.  We need to pass MAKEINFO, not
USUAL_MAKEINFO down, and we can only do so when build and host are the
same.

[thinks some more]

Oh, I get it!  When build and host are the same, MAKEINFO expands to
USUAL_MAKEINFO, so we get what we want, without additional ugliness.
Neat!

Patch is ok.  Please check it in.
