Note from the top of intdoc.texi:

@c This file is automatically derived from intdoc.c, intdoc.in,
@c ansify.c, intrin.def, and intrin.h.  Edit those files instead.


It's handled much like the parser files -- it's generated, but in the
source tree.  "make" may actually try to update it, which can lead
to these spurious differences.

It may be the case that intdoc.texi needs to be updated in the CVS
tree.  I'll leave that to David & Craig to take care of if it needs
doing.
