--without-tutorial has nothing to do with gnuplot.texi
It is for of the gnu info system, not the TeX documentation.

What version of Emacs is it trying to use?

I applied a patch last week that supposedly accommodated
more recent versions of Xemacs.  It worked for me here,
but I suppose it could be the culprit.
Try reverting this change:

2007-10-30  Christian Faulhammer (v-...@us...)
        * docs/doc2texi.el: Gentoo patch to allow for changed handling of
        newlines in up-coming version of XEmacs. Needed in order to
        regenerate gnuplot.texi on such a system.
        Bug #1822610

I am convinced that the texinfo system is far more trouble
than it is worth.  Perhaps it should be removed from the
default build.  We distribute a copy of gnuplot.texi anyway,
so there's not normally a need for the user to rebuild it.
