building gcc 4.5.4 fails on libiberty/copying-lib.texi

[Oliver Kullmann]

When replacing copying-lib.texi with the version from
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50900
then the error below goes away, however we get

/home/csoliver/OKplatform/ExternalSources/builds/Gcc/gcc-4.5.4/libiberty/libiberty.texi:275:
Prev reference to nonexistent node `Library Copying' (perhaps incorrect
sectioning?).
/home/csoliver/OKplatform/ExternalSources/builds/Gcc/gcc-4.5.4/libiberty/libiberty.texi:265:
Menu reference to nonexistent node `Library Copying' (perhaps incorrect
sectioning?).
/home/csoliver/OKplatform/ExternalSources/builds/Gcc/gcc-4.5.4/libiberty/libiberty.texi:77:
Cross reference to nonexistent node `Library Copying' (perhaps incorrect
sectioning?).
makeinfo: Removing output file `libiberty.html' due to errors; use
--force to preserve.
make[3]: *** [libiberty.html] Error 1

which is likely due to the other changes as discussed in the above link
(which unfortunately are not made explicit, and so I don't know how to
perform them).

Looks like a clear gcc-build-bug to me (and like one which should have been
prevented).

Any suggestions how to proceed are welcome.
