OK, found it. The file gcc/f/intdoc.texi wasn't touched for ages and
apparently has dependencies on gcc/f/intdoc.in. intdoc.in was newer
than intdoc.texi, so the build process wanted to regenerate the texi
file and couldn't because it was read-only. The IRIX system doesn't
have makeinfo, so it didn't even try to build info files.

So either intdoc.texi is out of date w.r.t. intdoc.in, or
contrib/gcc_update needs to touch it.
