In addition to the dependencies above, there's actually a direct dependency cygport -> texinfo.
I was aware of this when rebuilding texinfo, after an initial failed attempt using SCALLYWAG. The way I dealt with it was to forcibly update perl, ignoring setup's warnings. I don't know if there's a better way to handle this in the future. Maybe temporarily (or permanently?) remove those dependencies on texinfo?
