Mentions of GSS in gnulib.texi

Are the mentions of GSS in the section "Out of memory handling" bogus
cut-and-paste-o's or similar? A bit of googling suggests that the text
has indeed been cut and pasted from the GNU GSS manual. It seems that
this section is essentially meant to document xalloc_die (not
xalloc_fail_func, which is the name this section actually uses).

Should the section be deleted? Rewritten?

By the way, I was delighted to discover the section (by accident,
while researching for this email) on building the ISO/POSIX
replacements as a library, as that's something I will shortly want to
do. Along with the ability to remove installed modules, which I
discovered accidentally today, this is a disadvantage of not having
releases: no release notes means it's hard to keep up with cool new
stuff that has been added to gnulib. Or is there a gnulib-specific way
of doing this?
