Oops, you're right. My mistake.

This is not complete.

1) With this patch, the main texi2any_internals.texi still is generated in the
build dir — which it shouldn't, since it is distributed.

Here is my procedure:
$ ./configure
$ make maintainer-clean
$ git diff -- doc/html_default_commands_args.texi doc/pod2texi.texi 
man/pod2texi.1 po_document/texinfo_document.pot 
tp/Texinfo/XS/gnulib/lib/unicase/special-casing-table.h 
tp/Texinfo/XS/gnulib/lib/uninorm/composition-table.h 
tp/Texinfo/XS/main/command_ids.h tp/Texinfo/XS/main/element_types.c 
tp/Texinfo/XS/main/element_types.h | patch -p1 -R
$ mkdir bb
$ cd bb
$ ../configure
$ make
$ make distclean
$ find . -type f
./texindex/texindex.awk
./doc/tp_api/texi2any_internals.texi

Find attached two patches, to generate these two distributed files in the
source directory. Tested.

Additionally, there is one more issue:

2) Texinfo/ModulePath.pm is no longer found in a particular situation
(not sure whether this situation is supported).

How to reproduce:

$ ./configure
$ make maintainer-clean
$ ./configure
$ make distcheck
...
