Details:

when building texinfo 5.2 on pkgsrc with help2man 1.45.1 installed, the
following error occurs:

/opt/local/bin/bmake  all-am
Making all in man
--- texi2dvi.1 ---
unset TEXI2DVI_BUILD_MODE; unset TEXI2DVI_BUILD_DIRECTORY;
/opt/local/bin/pdksh
/var/tmp/pkgsrc/devel/gtexinfo/work/texinfo-5.2/build-aux/missing help2man
--name="convert Texinfo documents to DVI or PDF" ../util/texi2dvi
> texi2dvi.1
help2man: can't get `--help' info from ../util/texi2dvi
Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr
*** [texi2dvi.1] Error code 1

Following the hint, the following patch seems to work:
