Transcript of build failure

I am building binutils from source, on Cygwin.  The source tarball is
binutils-2.24.51-5-src.tar (actually came from Cygwin as .tar.gz)

I untarred it to a source directory tree.  Ran ./configure and then make.
The make failed.  I identified the location of the failure in the target
info-recursive in the ./bfd directory.

The file ./bfd/doc/bfd.texinfo has errors, three undefined references.
The ChangeLog file indicates that these three items were added in 2013
sometime.

I assume there's a patch available, or a newer release that has this fixed,
because I can't imagine this error being out in the world for over a year and
no bug report here in bugzilla.

Someone please tell me if I did something wrong, or perhaps Cygwin just needs
to get a newer release or a patch.

I removed the three lines 199, 200, and 201, and deleted the reference in line
222, and now it builds fine.

Attached is a transcript.
