Details:

In the upcomming version of texinfo the maintainer plans to introduce
TEXINFO_XS_PARSER=1 as a default, which will increase, among other advantages,
the speed documentation will be generated. 

But this breaks the build of octave's documentation. I am in contact with him
and we wonder if it is possible (for testing purposes and to avoid long runnig
build circles) to only build the documentaion without any binaries given
octave is installed by a package manager.

On my box I get

The build works if I export TEXINFO_XS_PARSER=0. If it is not easily fixable,
this should at least be mentioned in the build instructions.
