Is there something missing from this, as in a previous message you
had more lines beginning "dyld" like

>     dyld[99271]: dlsym(0x7ff918400670, "boot_Texinfo__Convert__Paragraph")
>     dyld[99271]:      dlsym("boot_Texinfo__Convert__Paragraph") => 0x10d5c9e50

but in the output below you only have one dyld line:

I tried to investigate by checking out the first failing commit
c294d771337 (2024-05-17) (by the way I got the commit reference incorrect
in my previous email).

texi2any_internals.info was built without error by running "make".

$ rm texi2any_internals.info
$ make texi2any_internals.info
restore=: && backupdir=".am$$" && \
rm -rf $backupdir && mkdir $backupdir && \
if (/usr/bin/perl -I ../../tp/ -I ../../tp/ ../../tp/texi2any.pl --version) 
>/dev/null 2>&1; then \
  for f in texi2any_internals.info texi2any_internals.info-[0-9] 
texi2any_internals.info-[0-9][0-9] texi2any_internals.i[0-9] 
texi2any_internals.i[0-9][0-9]; do \
    if test -f $f; then mv $f $backupdir; restore=mv; else :; fi; \
  done; \
else :; fi && \
if /usr/bin/perl -I ../../tp/ -I ../../tp/ ../../tp/texi2any.pl -c 
INFO_SPECIAL_CHARS_WARNING=0 -c TREE_TRANSFORMATIONS=complete_tree_nodes_menus  
-I . \
 -o texi2any_internals.info `test -f 'texi2any_internals.texi' || echo 
'./'`texi2any_internals.texi; \
then \
  rc=0; \
else \
  rc=$?; \
  $restore $backupdir/* `echo "./texi2any_internals.info" | sed 's|[^/]*$||'`; \
fi; \
rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc
$ 

Howeer, running the command that you had seems to reveal some bugs: 

$ TEXINFO_DEV_SOURCE=1 top_srcdir=../.. top_buildddir=../.. /usr/bin/perl  
../../tp/texi2any.pl  -o texi2any_internals.info texi2any_internals.texi

What makes the difference is the lack of the "-c INFO_SPECIAL_CHARS_WARNING=0"
option.  This produces thousands of lines of errors.  Here is just the
first few lines:

I tried the same with "master" (commit 525653d38aaa, 2024-08-16) and
there are still errors like these.

It is the same without setting the environment variables, which shouldn't
be necessary anyway, at least in an in-source build.

So I don't know if this is the cause of the problem you found, but it
is least somewhere to start.
