==================================================

the install-info program (unless manually upgraded doesn't seem to support --defsection:

<root>[//knox6202//usr/src/contrib/texinfo]:108 which install-info
/usr/bin/install-info
<root>[//knox6202//usr/src/contrib/texinfo]:109 /usr/bin/install-info --help
Usage: /usr/bin/install-info [OPTION]... [INFO-FILE [DIR-FILE]]

Install INFO-FILE in the Info directory file DIR-FILE.

Options:
--delete          Delete existing entries in INFO-FILE;
                    don't insert any new entries.
--dir-file=NAME   Specify file name of Info directory file.
                    This is equivalent to using the DIR-FILE argument.
--entry=TEXT      Insert TEXT as an Info directory entry.
                    TEXT should have the form of an Info menu item line
                    plus zero or more extra lines starting with whitespace.
                    If you specify more than one entry, they are all added.
                    If you don't specify any entries, they are determined
                    from information in the Info file itself.
--help            Display this help and exit.
--info-file=FILE  Specify Info file to install in the directory.
                    This is equivalent to using the INFO-FILE argument.
--info-dir=DIR    Same as --dir-file=DIR/dir.
--item=TEXT       Same as --entry TEXT.
                    An Info directory entry is actually a menu item.
--quiet           Suppress warnings.
--remove          Same as --delete.
--section=SEC     Put this file's entries in section SEC of the directory.
                    If you specify more than one section, all the entries
                    are added in each of the sections.
                    If you don't specify any sections, they are determined
                    from information in the Info file itself.
--version         Display version information and exit.
