rendering of singlequote

When I format the GNU C Intro and Reference, singlequote inside @code
comes out as a comma-like singlequote, rather that the upright singlequote
I would expect.  This is made with Texinfo 2018-01-09, which is installed
in Trisquel 11.

This text displays that problem several times.

    A @dfn{character constant} is written with single quotes, as in
    @code{'@var{c}'}.  In the simplest case, @var{c} is a single ASCII
    character that the constant should represent.  The constant has type
    @code{int}, and its value is the character code of that character.
    For instance, @code{'a'} represents the character code for the letter
    @samp{a}: 97, that is.

    To put the @samp{'} character (single quote) in the character
    constant, @dfn{escape} it with a backslash (@samp{\}).  This character
    constant looks like @code{'\''}.  The backslash character here

Is there a newer Texinfo release which fixes this?
