Hi! This is my first patch.

The @gol texinfo macro appears to have been used as a workaround for
achieving line breaks in gccoptlists, and has been removed on commit
43b72ed. The texi2pod rule to ignore it was not cleaned up at the time.

I did not find any references to @gol in the documentation, and building
man pages with and without the deleted rule produced identical files.

Best regards,
Leo.

contrib/ChangeLog:

        * texi2pod.pl: Remove rule to parse the defunct @gol macro.
