C-h f fringe-mode shows "Not documented"

[Drew Adams]

emacs -Q

C-h f fringe-mode shows only this:

 fringe-mode is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `fringe.el'.
 (fringe-mode &optional mode)

 Not documented.

Even after calling `fringe-mode' I get the same thing. I must load the
source file (.el, not .elc) in order to be able to see the doc of
`fringe-mode'.
