I tracked this build problem of mine down. I expect others will experience it, too, hence this posting. If you're building from clean, you won't have this problem.

Mark Mitchell's @file documentation change adds a @set directive to gcc-vers.texi in the build directory, but that file only depends on DEV-PHASE and BASE-VER, so it will never be correctly rebuilt using the new make rule. Just deleting it will remedy the problem.

Oh, yes, there is a similar problem when building binutils. I found I needed to delete ${srcdir}/gas/doc/asconfig.texi and ${srcdir}/ld/configdoc.texi. "make clean" doesn't delete these files for you.
