Details:

In texinfo 4.13 the files gnulib/lib/mbuiter.h and gnulib/lib/mbiter.h have
implicit usage of the functions mbsinit() and mbrtowc() without checking the
HAVE_MBSINIT & HAVE_MBRTOWC defines.

This renders compilation of 4.13 inoperable on these systems, and you get the
build errors below....
