What a terrible waste of effort!  Please read the file readme.djg in
the Texinfo distribution (it's included in both source and binary zip
files), and you will learn that the DJGPP port of Info already has the
-b (or --speech-friendly) option which makes it use stdio functions
instead of direct screen writes.  This option was introduced (courtesy
of Hans-Bernhard Broeker) specifically to make Info work with speech
synthesizers.

Something is clearly wrong with your system setup, if all these
programs fail to build.  If you want to investigate this further,
please redirect stdout and stderr of Make to a file and post here
everything that you catch there.  For example:

	cd gnu\texinfo3.9
	redir -o make.log -eo make

Then post the contents of the file `make.log' thus created.
