You should probably ask the gumstix people for details, but this looks
like the problem with binutils 2.17.x only expecting makeinfo to have
a single digit after the '.' in it's version, and hence breaking with
makeinfo 4.1x.

We have a patch for that:

http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/tree/toolchain/binutils/2.17/500-fix-makeinfo-check.patch

Any particular reason why you are using such an old binutils version?
