Steve Munson found a bug in the info documentation of libc and libm
two years ago that makes libm and libc not work with the emacs info
reader. Please consider fix it.
libc.texinfo:
(http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/newlib/libc/libc.texinfo?rev=1.14&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src)
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
* libc:: The ANSI C library.
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
This incorrectly instructs info to look for a node named "libc",
which doesn't exist. The correct entry would be:
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
* libc: (libc). The ANSI C library.
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
This tells info to look for the *file* libc.info. There is a similar
problem in libm.texinfo:
(http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/newlib/libm/libm.texinfo?rev=1.8&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src)
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
* libm:: An ANSI-C conforming mathematical library.
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
This entry should read:
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
* libm: (libm). An ANSI-C conforming mathematical library.
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
