typos in f77 docs

[craig@jcb-sc.com]

Just tried this.  Got a fresh copy of the snapshot (with an out-of-date
intdoc.texi), configured with CC set to egcs 1.1.2, then went to the
gcc (build) directory and did "make -f f77.rebuilt", which is my
shortcut for just producing the derived files (including the docs).

It indeed rebuilt intdoc.texi using 1.1.2, later dying due to makeinfo
not being where it wanted, but that's all I wanted to accomplish.

The intdoc.texi this generated (and I verified the date-time-modified
info had been updated) was identical to the original.

So, I can't reproduce the problem you saw.  If you have a copy of the
build output, look at what compiler was actually used to compile
and link f/intdoc.  In my output, it looks like this:

if [ -f lang-f77 ]; then \
  /develop/egcs/1.1.2/bin/gcc  -DIN_GCC     -g -W -Wall  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I. -I../../egcs-ss/gcc -I../../egcs-ss/gcc/config -I../../egcs-ss/gcc/../include \
   `echo ../../egcs-ss/gcc/f/ansify.c | sed 's,^\./,,'` -o f/ansify; \
  f/ansify < ../../egcs-ss/gcc/f/intdoc.in > f/intdoc.h0 ../../egcs-ss/gcc/f/intdoc.in; \
  /develop/egcs/1.1.2/bin/gcc  -DIN_GCC     -g -W -Wall  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I. -I../../egcs-ss/gcc -I../../egcs-ss/gcc/config -I../../egcs-ss/gcc/../include -I./f \
   `echo ../../egcs-ss/gcc/f/intdoc.c | sed 's,^\./,,'` -o f/intdoc; \
  f/intdoc > ../../egcs-ss/gcc/f/intdoc.texi; \
  rm f/intdoc f/ansify f/intdoc.h0; \

Oh, I just noticed, if there indeed is a bug here, it could also be
in (the compiled version of) f/ansify, I suppose.  But I couldn't
reproduce the bug at all, so I'm just pointing out that *two*
programs are built and run in the process of producing f/intdoc.texi.
