I didn't change the coreutils.texi, but 'make' though it needed to get rebuild, so there seems to be problem in the coreutils tarball? Then I changed it, to 'fix' that problem (by removing 3 times "&/"), after that my ancient makeinfo worked just fine...

Yes, that's it. texinfo 4.2 is ancient. You shouldn't need to run makeinfo unless you're changing the manual, because makeinfo's output is part of the coreutils tarball. If you are updating the manual, please upgrade to the current version, which is 4.13. If you ran makeinfo despite not changing the manual, then that's a bug in the tarball that we'd need to fix.
