Build fails on MacOS about openocd

Just made a quick note of this, it'll be in the next docs update. Thanks.

I had that error, too. It means the installed version of texinfo is too old. This solved the problem for me:

1. Install a newer texinfo, e.g. using Homebrew: brew install texinfo.
2. Export the path to the updated texinfo like so:
   • on M1 Macs: export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/texinfo/bin:$PATH"
   • on non-M1 Mac's: export PATH="/usr/local/opt/texinfo/bin:$PATH"
3. Run the build by calling make.

For your reference.
When I installed texinfo in brew, it did not create symlink, so it was not used.
I solved this problem by using "brew link texinfo --force" to create symlink.
By the way, the installation binary path for Homebrew for M1 Mac is /opt/homebrew/bin.
Thank you.

I encountered the same issue, related to the wrong path beeing exported, and I spend too much time investigating what was going to be a trivial thing. Please include both paths in the docs, I shouldn't have waste time, looking through github issues for solution.

I don't have a M1 Mac myself, but I guess we ought to expand the footnote here:

to mention that a different path needs to be added to PATH on Apple Silicon Macs?

I think this would be sufficient.

to mention that a different path needs to be added to PATH on Apple Silicon Macs?

From my point of view, I think the both paths should be included. The question of how this will be done is of secondary importance.
