The following just showed up on Xemacs-beta.
It doesn't look right: we (cygwin) don't intentionally change 
functionality, do we?

Thanks for the report.

The warning at glyphs.texi:1431 is genuine, and is now fixed in my
workspace.  The others are Cygwin bogosity, I would guess.  Apparently
Cygwin's makeinfo doesn't consider ASCII 13 whitespace in macro
arguments.  Note the funky way all the allegedly erroneous text wraps
to the beginning of the same line.  You could try reformatting those
lines so that line breaks don't occur in a @ref argument and with
extra whitespace padding the ends of the synindes lines.
