I had no idea anyone was using a 10 year old makeinfo.  Does that work
for gdb's docs?  Or gcc's?

Jan> .../bfd/doc/bfd.texi:245: Node `Sections' requires a sectioning command (e.g., @unnumberedsubsec).

I guess that old version uses the full @node form as a workaround for
the lack of sectioning in bfd.texi.  If binutils wants to support this
then I think backing it out is probably the way to go.
