My understanding is that `eval-when-compile` is used to make sure that
macro definitions are available during compilation and that the
libraries are not loaded when `texinfo.el` is loaded.  The macros in the
patch are `rx`, `cl-loop`, and `flymake-log`.

There is also the following comment on line 82 of the current version
(https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/tree/lisp/textmodes/texinfo.el#n82):
