It seems to work fine on Debian/bullseye:

[larsi <at> stories ~/src/emacs/emacs-27]$ ./admin/make-manuals 
Making manuals (slow)...
Adding compressed html files...
Making manual tarfiles...
Doing emacs...
...created emacs-manual-27.2.50.tar
Doing lispref...
...created emacs-lispref-27.2.50.tar
Doing lispintro...
...created emacs-lispintro-27.2.50.tar
Doing misc...
...created emacs-misc-27.2.50.tar
Making refcards...

But this is with an older makeinfo:

[larsi <at> stories ~/src/emacs/emacs-27]$ makeinfo --version
texi2any (GNU texinfo) 6.7
