Summary:                    missing makeinfo
Description: 
When configuring buildroot, it checks for availability of some essential
binaries (bison, flex, ...). makeinfo does turn up in that list (I see it
passing on the terminal when compiling), but buildroot does not halt when
makeinfo seems to be missing. It gets noted (makeinfo availible: NO), but
the build does not halt.

This causes the compilation to fail in a later stage. The only solution
then is to install makeinfo, and completely delete the build. As this
failure (on my system) got triggered after 1 hour of compiling, a lot of
valuable time gets wasted.
