The GNU info files have been contributed, but a patch has just been submitted that I'll try to get to in time. In the past, we've run into problems with elisp library incompatibilies between emacs and xemacs. We'll see how the proposed patch holds up.

If the Emacs Lisp incompatibilities come from the Emacs/XEmacs Texinfo formatting modules, I would guess you might be better off using the makeinfo' tool instead, which is much more speedy, anyway. makeinfo' (as well as the stand-alone `info' reader) are part of the Texinfo distribution release. I did not closely follow recent evolution in that area, however, so please take my comment with a grain of salt.
