This comment in doc/lispintro/Makefile seem to point to hysterical
raisins:

#+begin_src makefile
srcs = ${srcdir}/emacs-lisp-intro.texi ${srcdir}/doclicense.texi \
  ${emacsdir}/docstyle.texi ${emacsdir}/emacsver.texi

# …

# The file name eintr must fit within 5 characters, to allow for
# -NN extensions to fit into DOS 8+3 limits without clashing.
${buildinfodir}/eintr.info: ${srcs} | ${buildinfodir}
        $(AM_V_GEN)$(MAKEINFO) $(MAKEINFO_OPTS) $(INFO_OPTS) -o $@ $<
#+end_src
