For some reason it's not possible anymore to build libc.info with
this change:

./targetdep.tex:1415: `Posix' has no Up field (perhaps incorrect sectioning?).
makeinfo: Removing output file `/home/corinna/src/cygwin/vanilla/newlib/libc/libc.info' due to errors; use --force to preserve.

I'm not sure where this is coming from.
