Indeed, it's failing with 6.7 on Ubuntu 20.04.

The patch didn't seem to help.

It did put up an additional warning with the patch

src-newlib/libgloss/doc/porting.texi:314: warning: node `Build System Internals' is next for `Board support' in sectioning but not in menu
src-newlib/libgloss/doc/porting.texi:360: warning: node `Board support' is prev for `Build System Internals' in sectioning but not in menu
src-newlib/libgloss/doc/porting.texi:360: warning: node `Libgloss' is up for `Build System Internals' in sectioning but not in menu
src-newlib/libgloss/doc/porting.texi:87: node `Libgloss' lacks menu item for `Build System Internals' despite being its Up target
make[3]: *** [Makefile:1233: src-newlib/libgloss/doc/porting.info] Error 1

first one is new.

Regards,
Tamar
