What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Clang 3.2
Texinfo 5.1
ArchLinux, Up-to-date with Linux 3.9.4-1

Please provide any additional information below.

Apparently this is an issue with binutils, as documented at 
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15183

There is a possible patch available at:

I have attached a patch file which fixes all build issues I had on ArchLinux. 
Build was completed with gcc 4.8 and Texinfo 5.1. 

Could one of the maintainers please verify that this patch doesn't break 
building on other systems?

This is caused by newer Texinfo. This is fixed in newer versions of GCC. You 
can probably re-use most of their patches.

ugh. ran into this today with texinfo 5.2. can only hope the GCC under propgcc 
is upgraded at some point. meh.

I edited the patch to not patch the C file and only patch the texinfo files. 
(The patch  to the C file is currently integrated it seems).

apply with patch -p1
