for your information, gawk-3.1.4 documentation uses

@iftex
@set LEQ @math{@leq}
@end iftex
@ifnottex
@set LEQ <=
@end ifnottex

and @value{LEQ}.

This is what should be fixed.  makeinfo tries to parse contents of @tex,
which is not it's bussiness.  Similar issue with @html, I guess.

Interestingly enough, all @ifxxx, @tex and @html sections seems to be
in the output of makeinfo -E.  So the only problem is that makeinfo
thinks it might find a @macro definition in a @tex environment, which is
incredible.

So the fix might be fairly straightforward.
Would you volunteer for a patch?  (I wouldn't, sorry.)

Have a nice day,
