OK. From Guile’s perspective, it’s not a bug that ‘makeinfo’ is needed
in this case.

I don’t think we would apply the patch because it’s uClibc-specific,
AIUI.
However, instead of patching ‘configure.ac’, you can run:
./configure guile_cv_use_csqrt=no
to achieve the same effect as the patch.
Let me know if it works for you!
Thanks,
