Dear all

> > I just filed this bug (#815369) against gcc-5-doc, but maybe you want to

The patch
	gnat-cross-references.diff
in gcc-5-doc is broken. The header says:
	Description: Changed cross reference to versioned info pages.
	 Created using perl, then manually checked for correctness.
	 perl -i -pe 's/gnat_rm/\@value{fngnatrm}/g'
	 perl -i -pe 's/gnat_ugn/\@value{fngnatugn}/g'
	 perl -i -pe 's/gnat-style/\@value{fngnatstyle}/g'
but this also changes the
	@setfilename ....
setting, which is not supported, and in fact it seems it has never been
supported (looking back into the history of texinfo).

I don't know how these packages were built, but the change was introduced
in git commit da9d947d (btw, the git master is outdated - what is going 
on here??? git contains still as changelog:
	gcc-5-doc (5.2.0-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
and last commit from Sun Aug 9 16:28:21 2015 -0400.

As far as I am concerned, this is not a bug in texinfo.

Thanks

Norbert
