Karl, your Gnulib autoupdate commit ca550cc6193bd26ff30fbf7c15ac79cc23da20ad dated today changed some (but not all) curved quotes in INSTALL and INSTALL.UTF-8 to straight quotes. I assume this was because your copy of Autoconf got built in on a platform where 'makeinfo' often outputs straight instead of curved quotes. I didn't reproduce the problem on Fedora 39, where makeinfo is texi2any (GNU texinfo) 7.0.3 and I have a reasonable number of i18n packages installed. Perhaps it's an installation issue? Or do you have a later version of texi2any that has changed how quotes work?

Anyway, for now I assumed this was a mistake and ran an autoupdate that restored the curved quotes. Patch attached.
