I have a reproducer, but far from minimal:

(cd /tmp/ && \
 wget http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/quagga/quagga-1.2.0.tar.gz && \
 cd quagga-1.2.0 && ./update-autotools && \
 ./configure && make distcheck)

It's something in the doc/ build obviously, to make quagga.texinfo, but 
i don't know what...

The other post I found with a similar issue suggested it might be a bug 
in texinfo automake macros?

regards,
