I updated from 5.19 to 5.20 and it compiles now, thanks.

No, when you run `make check' it appears to auto-generate testcases from
the texinfo documentation[1]. the first one is at line 4257, and the
second is at line 4536. You can ignore my report; I misremembered. They
fail on 1.1.4 too. The problem is they use Latin-1 characters that are
invalid UTF-8. So that's one more "the C locale is not binary-safe"
compatibility issue.
