What version of makeinfo are you using? Most likely, this is a case of
you using really old tools.

At any rate, doc/standards.info is not maintained by autoconf, but is
pulled from the gnustandards repository; you may want to redirect your
bug report to bug-***@gnu.org and mention what version of tools
you are using, in case it is decided upstream to make standards.texi
compatible to an older toolset.
