Building GNU texinfo 7.0.1 on OpenSolaris 2022.10, I get the same failure
as reported in
  <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2022-10/msg00187.html>:

FAIL: t/dir-file-sloppily.sh

It is straightforward to install in VirtualBox, using a download from
https://www.openindiana.org/download/ .
Just make sure to allocate
  - at least 15 GB for the disk,
  - at least 3 GB of RAM.

After the system it set up, do
  $ sudo pkg install developer/gcc-11
  $ sudo pkg install system/header
  $ sudo pkg install developer/debug/gdb
  $ sudo pkg install editor/gnu-emacs
(See also https://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster/en/index.shtml .)
Then you can build various GNU packages, as usual.
