The previous sourcebuild.texi broke last night's regeneration of the
internals manual <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gccadmin/2004-q3/msg00011.html>.
The section title looks like it really should best have the commas in
rather than having them removed or replaced by semicolons to work around
tool limitations.  The precedent for increasing the version requirement in
such circumstances is
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-03/msg00173.html> (in that case,
one day after the release of the relevant Texinfo version).
