This is a bug in gcc-3.4.*: it checks for texinfo versions between 4.2 and 4.9 and considers every other version (like 4.13) as too old. Given that gcc-3.4.6 is from March 2006 and texinfo 4.11 (the next version after 4.9) is from September 2007 it was easy to overlook this problem.
I am not sure what is a good fix for this: gcc configure machinery is a mess and if we patch it we will need specific versions of other tools.
Yes, I had discovered and fixed the bug in the gcc configure script (changed "4.[2-9]*" to "4.[1-9]*").
