scripts: create the makeinfo wrapper before we set PATH

If we set PATH to the tools wrappers before we create the
makeinfo wrapper, then we may well wrap an existing wrapper
from a previous run.

     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
