Discarding my bodge here and pulling and sorting out changes from elsewhere,
the problem here appears to have gone.  Job's a good un, thanks.

Follow-up Comment #3:

I rewrote this entire chapter (or at least most of it).  It passes builds on
my system.  Please let me know if it still fails with older texinfo / makeinfo
environments.  I will have to figure out how to run with older versions if so.

I'm seemingly using:

A fresh clone from git goes through bootstrap and configure OK for me but
fails at the make step with:

...
rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc
make.texi:460: warning: node `Preparing' is prev for `Reading' in menu but not
in sectioning
make.texi:6179: warning: node next `Setting' in menu `Appending' and in

I don't think this is the right solution, so just present it to give context
about where the problem is, but the make step... gets further for me with:

diff --git a/doc/make.texi b/doc/make.texi
index cb7420d0..90687bde 100644
--- a/doc/make.texi
+++ b/doc/make.texi

 @node Conditionalizing
-@section Conditionally Assigning to Variables
+@subsection Conditionally Assigning to Variables
 @cindex ?=
 @cindex ?:=

It still says:

make.texi:460: warning: node `Preparing' is prev for `Reading' in menu but not
in sectioning

... but that's just a warning, so no longer blocks me.
