Subject: `make --question info` always fails
Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2021 01:54:15 +0100

This command on emacs-28 and master always fails:

    make --question info

Here is a reproducer:

    make info && make --question info || echo "failed"

This breaks the `make-dist` script, where we rely on `make --question
info' returning 0 to continue.  I had to comment out that line to
produce the first pretest.

I have bisected this error to the following commit:

    fddd63f8b854f6bfa91403f69ba694ccb54197bc is the first bad commit
