The patch header has the long story, short story is that texinfo builds some native tools required to bootstrap itself when cross-compiling - however this adds some development requirements for the host.
Since we require texinfo on the host to build this patch removes the build bootstrapping, and therefore the development package requirements. Testing of this patch would be greatly appreciated.
