Yes, I encountered it, sorry for not checking first.
Turns out some more changes were required. Attached is a new patch
that also touches doc/texi2pod.pl and doc/Makefile.am, and builds
without errors. I commit-amended before creating this patch instead of
creating a new commit, I hope that was the right thing to do.
