After several hours and no help from the texinfo documentation,
I figured out the problem and now gfortran.texi should build.

The problem is that I had named my nodes with @code{} for
the intrinsics procedure.  For example, "@node @code{ABS}"
would die.  By removing the @code{}, everything works,
except now the menu item is not formatted with @code{}.
