This topic is still being discussed as a regression in texinfo...

But this one is easy to fix.

Indeed; here's what I'm pushing.

Subject: [PATCH] doc: fix texinfo location reports

Otherwise, newer texinfo parses this line as a line directive, and
any error later in the file will claim to be from "conftest.c" instead
of "autoconf.texi".

* doc/autoconf.texi (Generating Sources): Avoid confusing newer
texinfo into thinking we had a line directive.
Reported by Stefano Lattarini, fix suggested by Patrice Dumas.
