Not as such - I haven't tried to build it myself. Looking at the 
stepmake rules it seems to be a horrible mess of Python scripts,
emacs batches, texinfo runs and whatnot. Doesn't look like fun
to maintain.

Anyhow, this is how to get TeX to use straight single quotes that
work right when copied from a PDF.

Redefine the ' character as:
\catcode`'=\active\gdef'{\char"0D}

The following small fragment shows the difference:

\tt Test \#'(1 . 2)
\par
\catcode`'=\active\gdef'{\char"0D}
\tt Test \#'(1 . 2)
\end

But where to put that to get texinfo to use it I cannot say 
right now. I could try to find out if there is interest?
